For most Samurai Shodown fans out there (including myself) ,the words Musashi or Sasaki Kojiro brings back some old feelings of the good old days , besides I don't get to see many samurai games now days ,but as happy as I was when I bought Kengo ,after 20 minutes I felt like i just bought another mindless game of hack-and-slash .
The story isn't much …just your average "I have come to face you …ohh mighty samurai !!" ,but that's not a really big issue (sure they could've made it really awesome like getting a job from your master ,better yet have ranks ..you start out as a small ranked soldier to become one of the worlds greatest swordsman …but no ,that was way to much for the gaming company ) ,but one of the things that bothers me most is …why in the world happened to all the martial arts\sword style fighting moves ,yeah you can chose form a rather small selection of moves from time to time but …comone …it's an action game ,you could've included some cool movies :The snake's hit ,shark byte ,falling leaf ,etc , not to mention they could include a weapon shop ,a small place where u can buy cloths or weapons (even tho we all know that Musashi had his specific weapons same for Kojiro ,but the other characters didn't ) .
I can wine and complain all day …the truth is this :the game is not ready ,it needs more work .
