I'm writing this mainly because I'm surprised no one else has. I was drawn to this game originally for the artwork, it really is just gorgeous. The gameplay itself is identical to VanillaWare's Muramasa: The Demon Blade, but as opposed to having just 2 characters to play the game through, in this one you have 5, and each character's story interlink in a timeline with each other. It is very striking visually and the story itself is actually very different for each character. I would say each character has roughly a 10-15 hour story on an average play through, but you can amass quite a lot of time invested in short order, I have over 80 hours in and I still haven't beaten it. It's not necessarily one of those games that draws you in and you play all at once, but in so far as a replay is concerned, the ongoing different storylines easily cover that aspect. I don't know just yet whether I will play it over again when I finally beat it, but they do give you abilities after you beat the first playthrough, quite possibly as an enticement to go through it again. I also like the ancient Nordic myth aspect, its a bit refreshing to play something different then the same story reworked over and over again in many traditional RPG's. Its more of a hack and slash then turn based style of playing, so it's best played as something to kill a couple of hours a day then one sit through. Some areas are challenging but also pushes a good pace. All in all, even though it's a bit pricey for a game that's been out, it is worth a playthrough as you could easily have invested 100+ hours of time into it at the end. Read full review

You can’t go wrong with thus 2d side scrolling masterpiece. Originally on the PS2, it is beautifully reimagined here on the PS4. Better graphics, 16:9 aspect ratio,1080p, and slightly altered gameplay. There is also an option to play the game play from the original in Classic mode. Definitely a reason to replay this gem again or for newcomers to get their feet wet. If you’re an Atlus or Vanillaware(or probably both) you will need this in your collection
