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.
