-Most gorgeous art/graphics and music: Just as you see in the trailers, this game has one of the best artworks I have ever seen. In this game your two characters will travel to many different places and these places are very well designed. The graphics are pretty amazing and they go very well the incredible music of this game. While fighting if your sword breaks, it will produce this amazing visual and sound effect making it very believable.
-Great action gameplay: In this 2D side scroller, there are tons and tons of moves you can pull using your sword combos. Using them to defeat different enemies and bosses is quite fun. But again you can't just swing recklessly as your swords will break unless you sheath and heal them time to time.
-Tons and tons of swords: Each sword comes with different moves and special moves. Again great to use against bosses and enemies. The swords you get towards the end are the most awesome ones.
-The bosses: This was one of the main factors that kept me pushing forward. The boss fights are simply amazing. They were all incredible but my favorite one was the mountain demon fight.
-Interesting story: Both of the characters have unique background and story. The curiosity to investigate more about what has happened and what will happen will drive you to go forward.
-Length: Between two characters and multiple endings, this game took me 80+ hours. Definitely worth the money.
-Multiple story endings: As mentioned before, both characters have multiple endings. Definitely worth unlocking.
*********************************************************************CONS*********************************************************************
-Backtracking: While there is not a lot of it, it definitely can get annoying to go back to a few places to finish some side missions.
*********************************************************************CONCLUSION***************************************************************
All and all it was fun playing this game due to its action gameplay, amazing boss fights and incredible graphics. Very happy played it.
So basically you get to be a girl or a guy both story's which are a bit different , you can upgrade or forge weapons as the game progresses. These forging and merging of weapons probably is a nice feature rather than just buying full on upgrades like in other jrpg games.
This game doesn't really allow you to ''free roam'' as it follows a straight linear path always, you don't go ''up'' a trail the game is just designed to follow and fight linear.
The bosses aren't too hard to beat depending on the difficulty you set, and when you gain some abilities and do combos it makes it a lot easier. Some bosses i could actually just spam a certain ability and i would nearly always be able to beat it.
This was nice for a first play through but overall i wouldn't be compelled to play it again, i mean besides picking a different character and having a bit of a different storyline there isn't much you can do to deviate from said path or ''wander off''.
Good fun game for a single play through in my opinion, i liked the novel like graphics though it may not appease some

Ottimo titolo, gran lavoro estetico, bel gameplay e storia non originalissima, ma molto piacevole. Gira molto bene su psvita.
Titolo solo in inglese.
Der Spieler übernimmt die Rolle eines weiblichen oder männlichen Charakters, die beide jeweils ihre eigene Story haben, sich aber exakt gleich spielen und auch in der gleichen Welt spielen. Die Geschichten der beiden Charaktere sind voneinander unabhängig, weisen jedoch Verbindungen zueinander auf, man kann auch jederzeit zum jeweils anderen Charakter wechseln und dessen Story verfolgen.
Die Spielfiguren werden durchgängig durch sehr abwechslungsreiche und malerisch schön gestaltete 2D-Areale bewegt, die alle miteinander verbunden sind; eine Gebietskarte kann hierzu eingesehen werden.Trotz 2D-Gameplays und -Grafik wird durch clevere Verschiebungen der Hintergründe in mehreren Ebenen dennoch permanent ein schöner dreidimensionaler Eindruck vermittelt, der in seiner Schönheit zuweilen echt überrascht.Teilgebiete werden durchschritten, Gegner werden bekämpft und Bossgegner am Ende jedes Teilgebietes werden besiegt, um den Weg in das nächste Areal freizugeben. An dieser Stelle kann man dem Spiel Eintönigkeit vorwerfen, da man, um die Handlung voranzutreiben, wirklich nichts anderes macht, als die Gebiete zu durchstreifen, die Bosse zu besiegen und die nächsten Gebiete zu betreten.
Dies störte mich persönlich aber überhaupt nicht, da dies bedeutet, immer wieder in den Genuss der schönen Optik und des spaßigen Kampfgameplays zu gelangen (daher geb ich dafür keinen Stern Abzug).
Die Stärke und der Fokus des Spiels liegen auch definitiv im Kampfsystem. In flotten, sehr flüssig laufenden Kämpfen kann der Spieler eine Reihe verschiedener Angriffe und Angriffskombinationen ausführen, indem er den Angriffsknopf einfach mit verschiedenen Richtungen des Joysticks kombiniert. Zusätzlich kann man springen, blocken, Ausweichrollen machen und einen aufgeladenen Angriff vollführen. Abgesehen davon, dass es auch ein Tutorial gibt, ist das Kampfsystem generell recht einsteigerfreundlich, bietet aber dennoch Raum, sich zu verbessern und es zu meistern.
Man hat die Wahl zwischen normalen Schwertern und Langschwertern; Langschwerter machen mehr schaden und haben eine größere Reichweite, sind allerdings ziemlich langsam. Normale Schwerter hingegen haben eine etwas kürzere Reichweite und machen weniger schaden, sind dafür unglaublich schnell. Dem Spieler stehen von Anfang an alle Kampftechniken zur Verfügung; lediglich die Spezialtechniken variieren von Waffe zu Waffe.
Eine weitere Krux am Kampfsystem ist die, dass die Schwerter sich mit der Zeit abnutzen und im Kampf zerbrechen können. In diesem Fall wechselt man geschwind durch einen Knopfdruck zu einem anderen der insgesamt immer 3 ausgerüsteten Schwerter; das oder die zerbrochenen Schwerter regenerieren sich, während sie weggesteckt sind.
Die Schwerter sammelt man, indem man Bosse besiegt, oder sie im Inventar selber schmiedet. 108 verschiedene und einzigartige Schwerter kann der Spieler in seinen Besitz bringen. Wie der Name des Originalspiels ("The Demon Blade") vermuten lässt, haben die Schwerter auch von der Handlung her eine gewisse Relevanz, sodass das Sammeln aller 108 Schwerter zu einem wichtigen Ziel neben der Haupthandlung wird.
Ein weiteres Highlight des Spiels ist wie gesagt die Optik. In liebevoll gestalteter, wie von Hand gezeichneter Optik bewegt man sich durch verschiedene Landschaftstypen in einer Welt, die ans alte Japan der Samurai-Zeit angelehnt ist. Man besucht dörfliche Gegenden mit ihren Reisfeldern, Bambushaine, Wälder, Flussläufe, verschneite oder unverschneite Gebirge, belebte und bunt beleuchtete Stadtviertel bei Nacht, infiltriert Burgen und Paläste über ihre Dächer und Gänge und besucht sogar Himmel und Hölle selbst.
Das ganze wird von einem atmosphärischen Soundtrack begleitet, der sich oftmals an das Setting anpasst und aus traditioneller japanischer Musik mit ihren typischen Instrumenten besteht; in Kämpfen jedoch merklich flotter wird und dann auch schon mal rockige E-Gitarren dazubekommen kann.
Von Umfang her bin ich mit dem Spiel auch zufrieden, da es ein ausgiebiges Post game gibt. Für jeden Character gibt es 3 verschiedene Endings, also insgesamt 6. Hat man auf einem Spielstand die Geschichten beider Charaktere beendet, sind für beide Charaktere nun auch die Gebiete verfügbar, die vorher nur der jeweils anderen Figur zugänglich waren, sodass man hier nochmal mit beiden Figuren die gesamte Welt durchstreift, um den Sammeltrieb zu befriedigen. Und selbst, wenn man 100% erlangt hat, bekommt man schnell wieder lust, nochmal anzufangen.
Alles in allem ist Muramasa auf jeden Fall eins der besten Spiele, die ich überhaupt jemals gespielt habe. Ich bereue nicht, es mir gekauft zu haben - ich bereue nur, es mir nicht schon viel viel früher gekauft zu haben!
WICHTIGER HINWEIS!:
Zu dem Spiel gibt es DLCs (4 zusätzliche Stories mit neuen Charakteren), allerdings: kauft man wie ich die amerikanische Retail-version, braucht man die amerikanischen DLcs dazu. Diese kann man jedoch nur runterladen, wenn auch der PSN-Account ein amerikanischer ist. Solltest du also einen europäischen Account haben und die DLCs spielen wollen, bleibt dir nichts anderes übrig, als die europäische Version im PSN-Store (und nur da, eine physische Copy der EU-Version gibt es offenbar nicht) zu kaufen und runterzuladen.
Lo único malo es que la historia dura poco (unas 6 hrs en modo fácil y unas 14 en difícil), aunque eso se corrige con los DLC que amplian la historia.
En general un hermoso y alucinante juego, como pocos.
