This is one of your typical hack-and-slash games with a relatively short story, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It's anime styled with a cute female protagonist. It has really nice graphics and combo's can get a bit of a finger-twister if you're using the keyboard, so the use of a controller is advised if possible. You can purchase costumes for your character ranging from the famous 'sailor' dress to traditional Japanese kiminos with points earned in-game.

PS - It has a full 360 camera which can be moved to any angle. ANY ANGLE.

nice animu gurl

In my opinion, enjoyable. It is a fighting game, where you defeat enemies to try and save your friends from succumbing to the power of the sword she wields. The story is linear, meaning there is only one ending. As well as that, the game is relatively short. However, those 100k SP costumes keep you busy fighting those enemies, that's if you're a legitimate player and not a dirty cheater.

I can see the story behind this, but would like to see more backstory. As well as that, the story itself is confusing. How did she obtain the sword? Why was it the teacher who died? Things like these I want to know when playing this game.

It is repetitive, but if you want a real challenge switch to Inferno so you can play Touhou 1cc simulator where everything one hit kills you. Although this game is short, it is replayable and I do enjoy playing it so it earns my thumbs up. Whether you want it will depend on your opinion on replayable games.

Really great action fighting game.
Solid recommendation to anyone who likes hack and slash games.

You got a punch attack that does very little. You have a sword attack that you have to refill. You have a charge attack that you won't be able to use without taking damage. You got a pretty neat special attack. You got a wonky dodge. You got anime tiddies. Combos are terrible from what I've played but I can't see myself sitting through enough of what I did just to unlock fun combos.

Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae is what I like to call a "supplemental" game. This is a game you would play while taking a break from another similar "main" game. Some people would prefer to play a different game, but I don't know. Juggling a plethora of games that represent dozens of different genres would turn anybody's brain into stale yogurt. Why take the risk when you can play something similar that's stil entertaining?

This game - which I'll refer to as MKH because acronyms are fun (AAF) - falls under the genre of arena-slasher. Typically a character-action game has some mode where you fight wave after wave of enemies (Bloody Palace, Lost Chapter, Tests of Valor). When a character-action game is literally just that wave-based mode, it becomes an arena-slasher. These are pretty rare and tend to be doujin titles, like Croixleur Sigma (also available on Steam).

The plot to MKH is: woman kills stuff with katana. Each of the five chapters are divided into five waves. Enemies are rich in number but poor in identity. There are guys with swords, red guys with swords, yellow guys with swords, big guys with swords, robots, an evil schoolgirl, and maybe 1 or 2 other different types of enemies. However, this is a short game, one that you can slash through in less than two hours.

Not-evil schoolgirl (I already forgot her name) has a sweet sword and not much else when you start off. Upgrades can be purchased as well as new moves and powers. The #1 thing to keep in mind throughout is parrying. While it's easy to mash the attack button and slice evil to pieces, playing defensively is how you avoid getting your combos broken. More specifically, it's all about the parry. Blocking is fine, but it doesn't work on heavy attacks and tends to get broken by a continous assault. Timing the block just right allows NES to awesome her way through the enemy's attack and deliver a strong counter-move.

There are other tactics to keep in mind. When an enemy is struck enough times they'll start to bleed (turn red). At this point a few more hits are liable to kill the enemy, just before they die the player should sheathe their weapon. It's like that common Japanese maneuver where the samurai cuts a dozen people at once, but they only fall over and die after the sword's been sheathed. In this game it's just something you want to do to boost your skill-points & regain health, though it also does big damage to bosses. There are other abilities and skills to master, but it's better to get a feel for it while playing the game.

For the most part, MKH is a breezy entertaining slasher. It's satisfying getting those big combos while also deflecting numerous attacks coming from every angle. Keeping track of the action can be difficult though, and your sound has to be turned up to notice the enemies that inevitably attack from behind. Some more variety in the enemies and bosses would have been appreciated, but maybe it's just me. I've been playing Bayonetta 2 and it seems like every 10 minutes there's a new enemy to fight. Like I said though, MKH is a short game. 10 minutes in that game is at least 3 or 4 waves. New enemy-types would just get lost in the chaos.

Unlike the games it serves a supplementary role to, MKH can be enjoyed even if you only have 5 minutes of free-time. There's no sitting through cut-scenes or loading, nor does it take several minutes to get the action. It's also possible to save in-between waves, and you certainly aren't expected to play through the whole thing without dying. Start this game up, slash through a few waves, and put it down so you can focus on your main title.

All in all, this is a worthwhile pick-up.

It's like Metal Gear Rising but you play as cute anime girl and her skirt is so short that you can see her pantsu so i have to play it with one hand so it's really hard but totally worth it.
