Rating Summary

This is a one-on-one fighting game in which players engage in matches featuring characters and settings from feudal Japan. Players use swords, daggers, spears, and hooks to attack opponents and drain their health meters. Fights are highlighted by cries of pain, slashing/impact sounds, and large blood-splatter effects. Each character can perform dramatic special moves, shown in brief cutscenes; some special moves involve repeated slashing of opponents; stabbing/impaling; tossing of bombs. Special-move sequences sometimes depict slow-motion effects and close-up camera angles; several moves result in large blood-splatter effects and occasional dismemberment (torsos). One female character is depicted partially nude—her breasts and groin covered by arms or wisps of hair.
