The eShop is getting so many new games every week it’s starting to get hard to pay attention to everything being released at that storefront. I can’t recall what made me pay attention to Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae. Maybe it was the sheer absurdity of its premise. Maybe it was the pricetag. Whichever reason it was, I was actually thinking this was going to be yet another mobile game being ported to the Switch, just like pretty much half of the games released weekly for it nowadays. I have to admit I was wrong and the game was better than expected.

With that being said, if I’m being generous, this is an average game at best. You never played Soul Calibur, have ya?Defining what Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae is all about is very easy. Think of your favorite Platinum hack and slash game. Replace the main character with your stereotypical Japanese high school girl wielding a katana. Remove the great level design and replace it with just wave after wave after wave of enemies being thrown at you until the game thinks it’s time for you to fight a boss. Replace the neat locales and awesome soundtrack with enclosed arenas completely devoid of variety, as well as short and repetitive music loops. Weirdly enough, it does feature some mildly interesting voice acting, making this game a bit more “complete” than the wide amount of budget games available for the Switch.

Why does it look like I’m fighting a bunch of Jaspions in a suit?Even with all of these underwhelming aspects, Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae isn’t all bad, and that’s mostly due to its gameplay. In this area it does well, as it borrows what made Platinum titles special in the first place: fast-paced and responsive hack and slash mechanics coupled with lots of combos and unlockable moves. Killing enemies can be extremely repetitive, granted, but it’s still midly satisfying.

The main issue here however, is that the camera controls are terrible. There aren’t lock-on mechanics nor fixed angles that allow you to look at all enemies at once. You’ll constantly rotate the camera in order to look for more enemies and in doing so, you’ll be frequently backstabbed.As a game itself, this is very underwhelming. What made me like Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae was the fact I could play it for really short bursts at a time, like a budget version of a Platinum game on a portable system.

I couldn’t be bothered to play the game for more than the duration of a song at any given time, but it provided me with just enough entertainment while doing so to occasionally go back to it. Let me also point out that, while the game does have a story, I can’t remember a single thing from it. I’m here purely and simply for the dumb fun this game’s combat system provides. I have no idea why shoving the katana into the scabbard does so much damage, but it looks cool nevertheless.I thought Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae was going to be yet another abysmal port of a random mobile game, and while I was glad I was wrong, this is not exactly a very fun or engaging game. It’s just a very shallow hack and slash game with some decent controls and gameplay, although not much else. It’s short and repetitive.

I would have probably disliked it a lot more if I had played in other platforms, but the Switch’s portable nature turned the game into a simple past-time of sorts. A game that can provide me with passable dumb fun for about five to ten minutes while I’m waiting in line for a movie or at the bank.

Submitted on 2/13/2017 Review title of Crush42For a very niche audience, but goodDo you like hack-and-slash games? Do you still mourn the SEGA Dreamcast, and hunger for more games with its graphical style and game design? This indie game might just be for you. While this is by no means the next Ninja Gaiden, there's clear inspiration drawn from it, as well as franchises like Onechanbara (mostly) and even DOA. If anything about this sounds appealing to you, this bite-sized arcade-style adventure comfortably has my recommendation.

The Z key can be used to interact or gain new effects. Certain locations beyond each door may yield more than one effect for the player to discover. Use the desk in the room to save your progress, and hold the escape key for more than two seconds to exit the NASU console game.Acquiring the bicycle, lamp and knife should be at the top of your list, as these items will double your character’s speed, light up dark areas and allow basic attack moves to be executed.
