A fighting game for fans of the anime. This game is actually pretty good for what it is. It's simple mechanics make this game very casual friendly, even then it has airdashes and some limited combo opportunities.
The presentation is this game's strongest factor. The game looks amazing for a 2d ps1 game. Every character looks great and their personalities shine with the animations. The backgrounds also look great.
Regarding the music/sound design, it has good background music, nothing crazy but it fits the feudal setting. The voice acting is surprisingly good and you can even customize what lines the characters say depending of the matchup.
The worst part of the game is the only mode other than versus, the story mode. It's very barebones and it's told in a visual novel style. You move on a grid but it doesn't matter where you go as you need to finish every fight/minigame in order to get to the final boss. It's basically arcade mode. You can't ignore this game mode as you unlock every character in the game in it (when you start the game you can only choose 2 characters in story mode and 4 in versus).
