(PS1) The Last Blade

Sharing many similarities with Samurai Spirits (it’s a weapon based fighting game, it’s set in the old Japan), The Last Blade was released in 1997 but it was ported to Playstation only 2 years later.
The roster includes 16 playable characters, the gameplay features a Speed and Power Mode style, a deflect system, if the player executes it at the right time the opponent attacks is deflected and he’s left open to be counter-attacked.
The Last Blade was not released in the West.
