Marvelous’ stunning 2D scrolling fighter has had its gameplay demonstrated at TGS. Basically, it looks a lot like Odin Sphere, but with less item management, more moves, and a much quicker pace. Oh, and importantly - no slowdown.

Take a look at this Gametrailers clip and see what you think. Despite the poor quality of the video, it looks even more incredible in motion. If you’re not drooling by the last few seconds then you’re probably dead.

It’s been confirmed that the game will use the Classic controller, and won’t feature motion-based attacks at all. A shame in one way, but this looks like it should be kept firmly old-school.  And I’m sure the different moves will be easier to pull off with digital input, anyway.

Muramasa: The Demon  Blade is coming to Europe courtesy of Rising Star Games, and for that we should thank our lucky stars, because this is exactly the sort of game we often miss out on.
