If you've played the PS2 entries, it feels like another slight step-up. it's almost the same as Onechanbara 2 quality-wise, but some additions are for the better. For starters, stuff like perfect dodge was a welcome addition and i usually don't advocate for longer games, but in this case it works in this game's favour: 20 missions instead of 7 missions was a smart choice. The upgrade system with 7 missions, kinda requires you to replay missions because you'd get decimated a bit too soon due to the difficulty spike plus enemies being way tankier. Luckily the 20 mission structure lets you play the game smoothly while not requiring you to replay missions nearly as much as the PS2 entries. Also the character switch mechanic is still present which is great to see, would've hated to see that wasted. That being said, if you're looking for a great game here, look somewhere else.
