Muramasa: The Demon Blade was initially published in Japan for the Nintendo Wii in 2009. The game is a 2D action RPG that combines side-scrolling exploration with beat-em-up combat, following in the footsteps of Vanilla ware’s previous game, Odin Sphere. The game recounts the adventures of two warriors, Momohime and Kisuke, who each have their own narrative set in Japan’s Edo era, which ultimately cross. The game became a cult classic in both Japan and the West, and it was subsequently remade and extended on the PlayStation Vita as Muramasa Rebirth.
