Hatashiai: Bushido Blade/Kengo Spiritual Successor Seeks Funding On Indiegogo

Hatashiai is an original 3D FTG game targeting to replicate realistic Sword Fighting (Kenjutsu), developed with Unreal 4 Engine. In Hatashiai, you take control of famous samurai/warriors skilled at different styles of melee combat techniques to experience their ways of fighting and learn about their stories and legends.

Our goal is to bring the Bushido Blade and Kengo fans back as well as new players in.

Includes at least eight famous Ryuha (shcool of Kenjutsu) with utterly different fighting styles. All skills and moves are actual techniques developed and used by the ancient Samurai/Warriors. All characters are legendary martial artists who have left glorious names in history.

D was a great, atmospheric horror game. It was worth the rental back in the day. Also, Limited Run Games sucks.

LRG are just glorified overpriced reproductions.... and now they can't even get that last part right. I make better repros using my own stack of CD-R.

Just don’t. 3DO games were the worst. Imagine paying premium prices for a dog-crap version of a game. The era of barely trying or understanding their own tech and charging asinine prices… 3DN0. It’s best that you don’t admit that you had one of these.

The 3DO was ahead of its time and one of the first to enter the 32 bit console space. Yes FMV games are awful, but at the time there was a real thirst for games to look like movies. Removing the FMV games the 3DO had Gex, a solid Myst port, and was often the best place to play non-SNK (best on NEO GEO) near arcade perfect arcade ports. Their downfall was poor marketing and a high price point for a time when consoles were considered to be kids toys.

It was certainly superior to the “64 bit” Jaguar, which was falsely advertised as stronger hardware and had one of the worst console controllers in history.

Limited Run Games makes me sick. The prices they ask are ridiculous and then the whole burning discs instead of pressing them is pretty disgusting. This is a company that takes their customers for a ride and demands extortion level prices for a product, like we’re talking 2x to 3x more than MSRP.
