Muramasa Rebirth is exactly what developer Vanillaware intended it to be: a better-looking version of the 2009 release. However, achieving that goal doesn’t make Muramasa any more entertaining today than it was back then. Yes, the art and animation are even more gorgeous, but none of the core design problems from the original version were addressed. The result is a familiar experience that feels both faithful and flawed.
The two campaigns can be played through in just around seven hours each, making for a shorter quest than many would hope for, but the promise of multiple endings and challenges to complete is sure to entice avid players and have them coming back for more. If you're interested in a well crafted and fulfilling experience beautifully disguised as a hack-and-slash platformer, then this one is for you.
Muramasa Rebirth is a great game, and if you’re looking for a meaty Vita game this one is definitely worth the purchase. This game has great graphics, fast combat and an interesting story with multiple outcomes – who could complain!?! The ability to make new swords I really enjoyed, pushing further to acquire new swords and test out its unique special attack was addictive.
