The 16-bit era was the golden age of JRPGs. Sadame does its best to emulate what made this time exciting for the genre while offering many unique aspects to distinguish itself from its peers. Sharpen your katana because this is about to get bloody.
Sadame is set in an alternate dimension during the Japanese Sengoku or warring period. Where a warrior is tasked with ending a demon uprising using their skill and magic to ultimately bring peace to the land. The player gets to choose between four different classes of hero; a samurai, ninja, monk and rogue. Each class has their own attributes and skills that they bring to the party and are so different from each other that you will want to give each one a try. I personally liked the ninja the best, because ninjas are awesome, also the combination of sword, fast-paced shrikes and a long-range chain sickle attack that allowed me to get rid of multiple enemies at once.
"Last February 25, Sadame - a Japanese RPG Action- came to the Nintendo 3DS eShop of Nintendo Europe, filling the great void that is felt in the console catalog in terms of games of this style."
Nintendo Insider: I had expected to enjoy Sadame far more than I ultimately did. Set within an alternate fantasy version of Japan’s Warring States period, its name somewhat simply translates as ‘fate.’
