What players say

Players say this is a slow, patience-based fighting game where punishing mistakes matters more than long combos. The online is dead, so it is best played with friends. Many praise the samurai atmosphere and mechanics like weapon clashing and disarming, but note the small playerbase and that some old moves were cut.
