Kengo: Master of Bushido
- November 29, 2000 00:00 AM PST
Hi samurai! Grab your katana and get ready for some realistic dueling action in Kengo, from the same team that brought Bushido Blade to the PlayStaiton.
Finally, the well-designed, but heavily overlooked and underrated Bushido Blade series lives on. Developed by the same team that created the first two Bushido games for the PlayStation, Kengo will continue the art-of-sword?ghting legacy, this time mixing the favorite one-hit fatalities with crisper visuals by harnessing the power of the PlayStation 2. In fact, the preview version already featured smooth character animations and detailed environments.
Kengo will feature 20 fighters, each with their own realistic sword attacks, stances, and offensive strategies. The game will also include a character-growth system: After each fight, you'll gain more strength, speed, and agility, or learn more sword combinations. Additionally, you'll be able to fight on 20 different stages that will contain interactive elements and environments, and the game will have eight practice stages that include sparring with wooden swords, hitting bamboo trees, and practicing zazen meditation. The way of the sword will be slicin' and dicin' your way December 1st.
