Muramasa: Rebirth Review – Super Pretty… But Is It Fun?

I’ve been a fan of Vanillaware’s games since I first played Odin Sphere on the PlayStation 2 (here is my review of its Vita remaster). Their games are always visually stunning, and Muramasa: Rebirth is no exception. The game features a beautiful hand-drawn art style that is reminiscent of classic Japanese anime and manga. The characters, environments, and enemies are all beautifully drawn and animated. The game also features a great soundtrack that perfectly complements the visuals.

The combat in Muramasa: Rebirth is fast-paced and fun. There are a variety of weapons and abilities to choose from, and the enemies are challenging but not impossible to defeat. The game also features a variety of boss battles that are both challenging and rewarding to defeat.

You have a light attack and a heavy attack, and you can also block and dodge. However, the game really shines when you start to experiment with the different weapons and abilities. There are over 100 weapons to collect, each with its own unique moveset. You can also learn a variety of special abilities, such as elemental attacks and healing spells. It’s a lot of fun to chain together combos and take down enemies with flashy special attacks. The game also does a good job of making the enemies challenging. They can be aggressive and hit hard, so you’ll need to be on your toes.
