Muramasa: The Demon Blade (2009)
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Adventure, Hack and slash/Beat 'em up
Themes:Action, Fantasy, Historical
Game modes:Single player
Story:Based on ancient Japanese lore, Murumasa: The Demon Blade plunges players into the mystical Genroku era, ruled by the skilled shogun Tsunayoshi Tokogawa. But this culture is threatened; Tokugawa's thirst for power leads to a conflict over the enormously powerful, though cursed, Demon Blades. Used in hatred, drenched in blood, the cursed blades condemn those who use them to tragedy, madness, and untimely deaths. As chaos spreads, denizens from the netherworld breach their realm as these malevolent swords summon evil spirits -- and the Dragon and Demon Gods as well.
Featuring hand-drawn 2D art reflecting the heritage and tone of the storyline, Muramasa: The Demon Blade transports players into a little known mythology, envisioned by the creators of the critically acclaimed Odin Sphere. Players take on the role of a male ninja or female kunoichi, utilizing their ninja prowess to traverse the clever side-scrolling levels that feature vertical progression as well as the traditional horizontal stage advancement.Show more

I loved this game on the wii and I want to share that experience with you guys. ALSO, THE GAME IS JUST BEAT UP MYTHS AND LEGENDS IN JAPAN.
The only 2D game on PS Vita worth buying imo. From the soundtrack that evoked feelings of eerie isolation that jumped to high tempo songs when encountering minibosses or mobs of enemies, I've never seen another 2D game that had such a strong atmosphere. Not to mention the art direction made every slash and telegraphed attack clear against the backdrop along with the upgrade system made grinding enemies for XP a breeze. Would replay 10/10
One of my FAVORITE Vanillaware games. It doesn't go on too long, is a rewarding storyline, and has an amazing art style! I loved every minute of it, and would love to play it with the DLC!
Muramasa was my introduction to Vanillaware games and holds a special place in my heart. There is technically an enhanced Vita port in the form of Muramasa: Rebirth, but I'm putting my experience here since this entry had more votes.
I desperately want Vanillaware PC ports and honestly you can't go wrong with any of them, but I'd like to bring some older games forward first. Muramasa is stuck on the Wii and Vita.
Don't let this gem stay only on wii and vita, this deserve more attention and with at least with a more advanced platform compability if not a remaster, please gog, make it possible...
