Admittedly, the wii has not turned out many games that are graphically stunning. After picking up Oboro Muramasa my opinion of the console has gained a level up. It’s a 2D side scrolling action game set in the Genrouku Era, Japan. There are 2 playable characters; Momohime a young princess of Narukami Han, and Kisuke, a ninja with amnesia. Momohime starts in Kyo and makes her way to Edo while Kisuke goes the reverse. There are over 30 stages available and each one is quite beautiful. Between boss battles, ambush battles, and story mode, you’ll be running through the levels collecting items and such, but what’s different is you can move upwards and jump from branches of trees and other terrain.
The game’s combat is focused around 2 different types of swords; the Tachi and Odachi. You can change swords at any time during battle, and may perform a bonus attack when doing so. If you overuse one sword then your soul gauge will deplete and the sword will break, however it will repair if you store it for a short time.
Features:
During it’s first week in Japan, it topped the game sales charts at #2 and sold 29,000 copies. It’s set to release for NA September 2009, and EU Spring 2010.
