Muramasa is an odd little game- since release it has gained a huge amount of critical praise, but will this old-school side-scroller for the Wii impress the reviewers at PlayDevil?
Here is a snippet from the review:
'The danger of games in the style of this, is that they soon become very repetitive so I approached the game with an open mind and hoped that it would offer enough variety in it's gameplay.
Instantly I found that the tutorial offered a nice taster and gave me belief that the game would provide a nice tactical aspect in it's variety of moves and strategic use of the huge amount of swords which can be used however when I got into the main game this never quite panned out as well as I had hoped.
Admittedly the player has a large amount of moves at their disposal although once into the story you may find that only a few moves are needed in order to progress'
