I'm more familiar with Bushido Blade 2. I had a friend who introduced me to a couple PS1 games. This was among those I kept enjoying. Bushido Blade 2 I actually played before the original. You get a campaign that has different final bosses to a degree. You also get a mode to defeat a lot of enemies in one setting. It's a more realistic weapon based fighting game. I could argue it rivaling Soul Edge which I also had on the same system. The stages are mind blowing well designed. The audio as a whole always stuck with me for years. Easily among the best fighting games on the system. You get a great roster of characters. To me this was better than the original Bushido Blade. It's a shame Square Enix never released this franchise. I know a lot of people that absolutely would love this!!!

This was one of the best sword-fighting games ever created. Outstanding character roster, great fighting mechanics and its replay value is absolutely priceless.

Bushido Blade and Bushido Blade 2 were a blast to play! Unbelievable underrated games. One good hit and you are dead, yes, but it just worked and was absolutely fun! It had a lot of different characters, a couple of hidden ones that were challeging to unlock, not to mention the Bosses, each with their own gimmick. There were different weapons other than the katana. Discovering what character were better with which one was part of the fun, as well. Playing versus a friend always resulted in some hillarious moments. Simply, there are no games like these two that I know of.
Those games also need your vote!

DeathbringerEmpire's take on the hack'n'slash arcade-adventure games on the Amiga had a lot going for it: nice colorful graphics with plenty of parallax scrolling coupled with an equally nice music and decent sound effects.
