Whoa, okay, where to start? Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade—ever heard of it? So, imagine this wild Japanese fantasy, like, swords and demons in the Edo period. Yeah, it’s all in there. Game Source Entertainment and 7Quark tossed this one out, and honestly, it’s like your typical rogue-lite RPG, but oh no, there’s more—like a saga with samurais and mystical ninjas. We’re going way back—talking ages ago—when humans and demons were, uh, like neighbors. But then? The whole Nine-Tailed Fox, the demon boss, decides “why not ruin everyone’s day?” So now, it’s chaos, and you’ve got Shigure, Sara, and Taketora stepping up to unknot this mess. Here’s hoping, right?
Quick backtrack—7Quark brought this beauty to Kickstarter, aiming for HK$400,000. They turned heads with over 700 backers. Money raised? HK$609,000. Boom! Delayed a bit, yeah, just to polish things up. May 14 was go time. Game on!
Oh, and the characters—quirky bunch. Shigure’s the Immortal Ninja. Can you die if you’re immortal? She thinks not. Sara, well, she’s more shadowy, the Oni Emissary, booted to the Mortal Realm after a flub. Taketora? Right, he’s the tiger dude swinging a sword. Another demon, but with a twist. What’s a story without a demon warrior switching sides?
Game mechanics? Meh, similar at first glance, but dive deeper. Shiruge—she’s this nimble dual-wielder; plays with grace, dances through battles. Sara’s speed blitz; blink and poof, she’s across the room. Taketora though? More tank than tiger. He hits like a truck. Can hold his own—arrow rain or steel slice. Got short dashes so, uh, mind where you step.
Then there are these Soul Orbs! Think of them like upgrading your luck. They boost your punches, kicks—or, well, slashes. Cool temporary boosts, like quick power-ups, or permanent ones if you’re looking long-term.
Village life? That’s a breather between fights. Sipping tea, slurping ramen to heal—seems quaint amidst doom and demon battles. Oh! Challenges too—a bit risky. Win some, lose some.
Weapons you ask? They got these jazzy Demon Blades. Stack elemental attacks, collect parts, tinker with them at the blacksmith. Each blade is like picking a sidekick with flaming powers or shields or something equally rad.
Anyway, not to loop back—oops, guess I did—but will these heroes save the world? One way to find out: grab it tomorrow on the Nintendo Switch. Can you handle $29.99? Your call.
This scattered word spew was brought to you after a fun spin with the game. Wield those demon blades wisely!
