Muramasa: The Demon Blade Review - IGN

Muramasa: The Demon Blade is one of those games that is instantly captivating. Being a fan of Vanillaware and the company's rich history I remember seeing first glimpses of Demon Blade out of TGS, instantly recognized the game as being one of Vanillaware's own, and stubbornly demanded that I get to review the game ever since. Here we are on the cusp of the title's release – complete with a Nintendo World Store weekend launch in NYC; not common for third party games – and Muramasa is still entertaining me after dozens and dozens of hours of play. The real question on everyone's mind though – just like it was for me, until I got plenty of time to dive on in – is whether or not Muramasa was all eye candy, or a true classic in 2D gaming.
