Apparently backtracking, not enough enemy types, and encounter-based battles amount to -2.0 points. Also how long have IGN been trying to be Polygon with that new layout?

Anyway, this seems like a lovely fit for Vita. Will definitely be nabbing it at some point. The question is, which first: Muramasa or Dragon's Crown?

What the hell? 8 is a great score for this game man, I'm not even sure it deserves it.

The PSN version is out for $34.99! :D

There are also 10 PSN Muramasa Rebirth avatars available too ;)

Grab them while they're hot!

Why do reviews keep being treated as if they're only subtractive rather than additive or just gut feeling? Nevermind that implies there's some hypothetical "perfect game" they're messing up, versus trying to reach a perfect or at least Great game.

I was trying to make a sarcastic response in light of the posts above mine. Didn't mean it to come across as a serious calculation ^^;
Muramasma is one of those few genuinely unique games that I will enjoy playing on my Vita very much. It could have got 8 butts out of 34.5 and I still would have been interested.

Good point! Let's see how things go with Hotline Miami (not to mention still getting through TLoU) first ;)

Is Chaos super hard? The descriptions make it seem like Legend is Easy and Chaos is Normal.

Legend is easy, Chaos is normal, and
Fury/1 hit kill mode makes me sad (it's hard), especially when it comes to those two trophies ;-;

The difficulty between the two is relatively the same, the difference is the controls. Legend lets you block attack with the attack button at the cost of spirit meter, while Chaos doesn't, so you actually have to dodge attacks.

You can also change controls at any time in the options, so you can swap between them at your leisure!

This game looks so good.

Also square works as the action button, the prompts say to use X but square also works and then you have your dedicated jump button.

Good that you brought that up!

For talking to people or picking up treasure, you can use the Square button (default attack button) instead of the X button (default Jump button) instead :)

Should make things nicer~

Technically? To get all the swords, you need to finish the game with both characters and complete some enemy lairs that have swords as a reward, which are only available after you beat the game. But doing so is still part of one playthrough, since you don't have to restart the game to get 'em.

Yeah I thought I did that.... Weird maybe I missed a few.

Wow, this game truly shows how incredible the Vita screen really is. No ghosting or blurring, even as the screen is changing scenes rapidly.

Is it better not to turn the brightness all the way up?

fun game so far at an hour in. mapping dodge to R helped the flow of combat a lot.

wasnt expecting the term "muff diving" to make an appearance lol

We can debate the game design and gameplay all day, but for me this is unquestionably one of the most beautiful games ever made, by anyone, ever. Something this beautiful should be owned.

There's no english dub! :( It's a totally understandable choice, but I'm one of those people who have an impossible time playing with Japanese voices for some reason.

Ouch man, hopefully you can get a refund or something.

Mine is still on track for what it said at order, although it hasn't shipped. Wonder why this game wasn't ready for release date arrival :/

I didn't play the Wii version and I've only been playing it for about 90 minutes but this game is beautiful. I guess some people might be annoyed at the lack of English dub but I'm really digging the subs and music plus some of the writing makes me chuckle.

OLED heaven.

My Amazon order of the limited edition has gone into "We'll email you when we know more" mode. Preordered the day it became available.

*edit

Amazon customer service says they haven't received stock of the game yet. So, we'll see. Could still be today.

Poor EU :/
Do we have any idea on who is doing the EU port?

Hell has there been any mention of it at all?
Click to expand...

No EU publisher has announced anything. Rising Star would be the likeliest, but seeing how the game is out and they haven't said a word...

Yeah, Aksys and XSEED seem to be different about game releases in particular. They usually don't even ship stock to retailers until the game's release (today), so it's a bit difficult to get the game before/on Tuesdays with them if you order online.

Can the voices be turned off?

Probably a dumb question, but if I was to import a US version (I am in the UK) where would I stand with DLC?

If I have to sign in and use a US account for that purpose I guess I may as well download the US version anyway?

DLC is region locked, so use any future DLC for this game, you'll need a US account.

I hope its not another Ni No Kuni where some customers lost preorders that went on ebay through some company. Mine says July01-03 arrival, which blows because I'll be on vacation and this was my vacation game.

No update on Amazon yet. Still says it's coming Thursday. Oh well, I can get a good amount of PxZ in while I wait.
