I was surprised to see it had a higher star rating on the marketplace (and also about 4000 more votes) than Deathspank. I haven't tried either yet but that was interesting to see. I expected a single or two stars.

I tried the demo lastnight, and man it's hard. My stupid spartan couldn't win a single round against the ninja. :lol

It looked more like the BB spin-off called Kengo. Are the one hit kills still in it?Tokubetsu said:

That's probably for the better. I blanked out most of it as well. It had lifebars.Tokubetsu said:

This has a lifebar too but it doesn't really matter. Like 3 hits and and it's gone anyway :lol It's pretty much just there for you to freak out OH SHIT I SHOULD BE ROLLING AWAY AAGH SPEAR IN THE FACE
For some more detail, you get to pick weapons and presumambly armor in the full game. Ninjas for example, can get the ninjato or kusaragi. Y is high attack (head), X is mid (body) and a is low. B is a ranged attack (Spear for Spartans and Shurikens for ninjas). both RT and LT are guards and RB is your warriors "signature" attack. With ninjas thats a big roundhouse kick. I actually opened up the spartans guard one round with it and proceeded to cut off his shield arm, winning the fight

Played the demo. It's interesting and seems alright, but also...spartan. But then I remember it's a $10 fighting game. The whole show is basically about weapons slicing, crushing and piercing things in slow motion, so the lack of replays is a weird omission I hope they'll mend with a patch though.
How are you supposed to aim javelins and such? Got a one hit kill 2 seconds into the round once, which was sweet, but most of the time if it hits it hits the general torso area (and sticks out of it).
Think I'll take the plunge, I like more methodical stuff. Also vikings.

That's all I needed to know. I'll queue up the game now.Phloxy said:

but I am a sheep
Edit: Never mind found a character list.
The Apache, Knight, Ninja, Pirate, Samurai, Spartan and Viking from season one are playable. The Roman Centurion from season two will also be playable, with more characters to be added as the series progresses.
I really want to see matchups between the Viking and and Knight, sounds like a good one. Also how are people doing the single blow kills?

Apparently theres a poll for which warrior is gonna be next:
http://www.spike.com/blog/which-warrior-should/97457
Also Killing Blows definitely has a bit of luck inolved for match start ones at least. Position/angle the blow hits seems to be important

It's not too shabby. My only complaint is that the movement isn't very intuitive. Still, pretty fun game.
It's cool that they FINALLY made a game like this for current consoles, but I'm sorry, it's terrible.
Movement doesn't work when you want it to, there's too little content, framerate is erratic, environments consist of maybe 4 or 5 stages.
I mean yeah, it's 10 bucks, but if you told me this was an Indie game I'd believe you.
Don't waste your money.

This is going to sell so much better than DeathSpank.

I wouldn't call it a great game. You can sense the budget. It is rather sparse, the whole thing looks a bit shabby, sometimes you get stuttering and slowdown. The matchmaking seems rather crap. Search, join, failed to join, repeat 3-10 times. Creating your own match seems to be a better alternative than the alleged Quick Play option.
But I'm having fun with it. More than enough to justify the price.

I too would not call the game great. But it definately is much better than terrible. Its a 7/10 and worth the money if you want something Bushido Blade-ish.
Definately better than the MK games we have had in the past years.:lol

This game is awesome. Especially when you get your arm chopped off and are bleeding out but still manage to lop someones head off for the win with a cunt hair of life remaining.
Moments like that happen frequently. And then there are times when 2 heavily armored warriors are facing off and it's hard to get a blow in on either side.

Bwuahha I caught you with like 3 of those last night, that will show your ninja. /ignores the 50 other loses I had vs you lol
The game is pretty cool, I would love to see a fleshed out retail version of this game maybe one with more players (2v2)? It reminds me, for some weird reason, more of Mount and Blade than bushido blade. Fatalities are cool, limbs decapitation AND hurt limbs are awesome. Having to leave a room to change characters is a bummer, but instant rematch is great to have.
I'm having trouble deciding if its my fault that the parrying isn't working as I feel it should, might just be that I suck at it though.

How are tournaments supposed to work? Joined one, shot a ninja in the face, the guy quit and I got kicked back to the main menu. If there were other opponents in the tournament it's pretty stupid that I got kicked. If he was the only opponent that's also pretty stupid.
Won my first ranked fight against an Apache though. Hurray. But winning with the pirate feels a bit cheesy (as does losing against one). You've basically got unlimited long range projectiles with the granados, so it makes sense to take advantage of that. Maybe more skilled players know how to deal with the running around dropping bombs tactic, but yeah, feels cheesy.

If you love the show (like I do) you will love this game, yeah it has flaws and yes Its a budget titel.
But that does not mean its bad or that it is not worth your money.
Everybody should at least check out the trailer/demo

Has happened two times out of two now. People online are lil bitches, making tournaments utterly pointless. Pretty stupid oversight by the developer.VibratingDonkey said:

Ok, so apparently a "Tournament" in this game means a five round battle. I wager the people who quit are trying to get the "win 25 tournaments" achievement.

I checked this game out over the weekend, and I don't think Bushido Blade is a good comparison. I just don't get the impression that the weapons are game world objects with their own physics. Even Bushido Blade 2 is more realistic, and BB purists consider that game to be too arcadey. It's really closer to Kengo.Kabuki Waq said:

Anyone else having trouble getting the tournament achievement? No matter what I do everytime I win a tournament, it only counts as a ranked match win. I've tried hosting with all the different options and still no luck. Also tried joining other peoples matches and still no luck.
Edit: So basically you have to win 3 tournament matches consecutively.
DLC content and pricing.

This, plus will they be introducing new gameplay mechanics (weapon clashing/interaction, character lock, stance changes)?LocoMrPollock said:
