The first few levels are quite easy. This is probably cuz I'm used to the Otogi system though. It seems to be more of the same, with just some more in depth weapons and character options. You get 6 different characters to choose from. One is a big axe-guy like Asteroth from Soul Calibur, then you have your classic samurai looking guy, another is a fan-wielding lady, and another has a sort of scythe, while yet another is wielding a double bladed sword that looks very, very smooth. And then there's this weird swirling.. tree.. guy. He's my favorite.
Anyway, my favorite part about this game is just how stylish the fighting is. Remember that showdown in the snowy area from Otogi 1? That was probably my favorite 'boss fight' in a game. Absolutely amazing.
