User Reviews

Fun simple game in the mold of a Zelda.

From the score here I can see it is not exactly a well loved game, but I found it rather fun and funny. Granted it does contain faults, but so many games of this type do as most of these games that sort of mirror the Zelda series and one of the ones most common is the fact they are always a bit short. This one also has the problem of a rather bad ending which the sequel to this one also shares. The story has this kingdom being attacked by an evil empire. The princess of the kingdom in a last ditch effort tries to summon a brave warrior and what she gets is a rather small samurai in training. So Musashi must find a sword, free some of the citizens of the castle from some sort of crystal prisons, find other swords that have different elemental powers, find strange sheep creatures that somehow increase health, fight a very determined rival, collect toys, help the local townsfolk with certain tasks, and climb a really big tower to save the princess. So there is a lot of things to do, but it still not the longest game. It has challenges, however you will find most boss fights are easy once you figure out the secret to beating them as is the final boss fight. The toy collecting part of the game was rather pointless, the day and night was also a bit of a pain, but then very few games that incorporate the day and night stuff do it so that it is not a pain. Work out the kinks and this would be a really great game, as it is it is a rather good game.
