Gameplay
Made to follow in the footsteps of the Samurai Shodown series, The Last Blade was the only other 2D samurai fighting game around at the time of it's debut, and features characters inspired by the bakumatsu period in ancient Japan. The series is known among NeoGeo fans for it's interesting characters, superb animation and graphics, and good solid gameplay.
.Last Blade looks like your basic 2D weapon based fighter at it's core, and it is. The innovation lies within it's unique gameplay, featuring two different "styles" per character, being Speed and Power. Speed Mode allows for "speed combos," chain combos, and desperation moves. Power Mode increases damage potential but limits combos, requiring more strict inputs; and also gives the character the ability to do a Super Desperation Move. The gameplay, also has a deflecting or parrying system which allows for quick countering and epic sword battles. As you can see, this isn't your mothers fighting engine, and is quite deep!
