NCS Product Synopsis
Update: January 16, 2013
The 2D platformer is dead. Long live the 2D platformer.
Marvelous eschews the allure of 3D and does 2D proud
with an action game that's packed with lush hand drawn
visuals and fast-paced swordplay. A dainty kunoichi
heroine dubbed Momohime and a dashing ninja hero named
Kisuke star in this 2D side scrolling hack 'n slasher
which takes place in olde Japan. Not post-war Japan
but way further back when weapons called "Demon
Blades" were actually bandied about. Enemy underlings
and magnificent end-level bosses such as a
club-wielding demon, a giant samurai, and a massive
millipede that stretches across multiple screens serve
as the opposition.
Upon starting a game, players may choose either
Momohime or Kisuke from a simple selection screen that
lists their names but not their portraits. We chose
Momohime (left selection) because kunoichi are much
cooler than ninja. Kunoichi are also more presentable
at cocktail parties. At the outset, a simple tutorial
teaches players the basic moves where the "A" button
attacks and pushing up on the analog thumbstick makes
the hero jump. An impressive assortment of moves is
available including a rolling slash and a dashing
aerial attack where the kunoichi's entire body serves
as the weapon. When performing the aerial dash, a
total of three sequential attacks may be made before
the game engine resets and calls time out.
The Playstation Vita rendition of Oboro Muramasa
features newly recorded character voices and DLC
scenarios. Marvelous is including a bonus Oboro
Muramasa Soundtrack CD with preorders in 50% ratio.
Ships same-day if
ordered before 4PM EST. Brand new and factory
boxed inventory from original NCS stock.
