Muramasa: The Demon Blade will accommodate action and RPG fans
According to (our iffy translation of)
Famitsu,
Muramasa: The Demon Blade will be playable in two different modes: "Musou" and "Shura." Musou mode may be best-suited for fans of previous Vanillaware action-RPGs like
Odin Sphere: it focuses on character leveling rather than action. Shura mode is all action, with less emphasis on strategy. We don't know
how the modes differ mechanically, but it may be as simple as easier enemies in one mode and fewer character customization options in the other.
Along with this news, Marvelous released new screens of
Muramasa. As usual,
yum.
Muramasa comes out April 9 in Japan, which is not fair at all. It's out in Europe in spring of
2010, and in North America
sometime this year. But probably not
next month.
