Blood Will Tell

What would you do if murderous weapons of war replaced your limbs? If you were Hyakkimaru, you�d use them to kick some serious ass against the evil spirits who stole your body parts.
It can be said that you can train your arms and legs to become deadly weapons. It can also be said that if a sword and bazooka replaced your arms and legs, you�d be a bad mother�. Welcome to Hyakkimaru�s world, where some of his 48 missing body parts have been replaced by instruments of war that fire off explosive projectiles and swing with lethal accuracy. Based on a classic Japanese manga by writer/artist Osamu Tezuka, who also created Astro Boy, Blood Will Tell follows the adventure of Hyakkimaru in his quest to retrieve his missing limbs that were taken by demons. In this third-person hack-n-slash, you�ll guide Hyakkimaru to battle more than 100 demonic creatures using the killer weapons attached to his body. A friend can join in, too, playing as Hyakkimaru�s sidekick, Dororo, a young petite girl who possesses astonishingly powerful attacks.Some fantastic visuals were already evident in a demo of the game. Sticking with Sega�s tradition of rapid slashing gameplay, the action never skipped a beat�nor did the storytelling. Once it�s released, Blood Will Tell will convey the compelling adventure through hours of beautifully CG rendered cut-scenes. Until then, check out a taste of the Blood Will Tell comic.
