It is the games with the most promise that are the most frustrating when they fail to pull it all together. Such is the case with samurai slasher, Kengo. The game features some of the best sword-fighting mechanics videogames has ever seen, but the developers appear to have run out of time before actually finishing the game itself.
Despite using relatively few buttons, the game has brilliantly executed fighting mechanics. When on the attack, 'B' is your basic attack and 'Y' is your heavy attack. This sounds very basic, until your realize that the right-bumper changes your fighting stance and start playing around with the deadly combos. The game's slick RPG elements allow you to purchase new combos and attacks at the end of each round with level-earned experience points, as well as use 'spirit spheres' towards upgrading your samurai's main attributes.
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.
Wow looks good! if your gonna draw a comparison to bushido blade though you need some sword throwing! Bushido Blade 2 is one of my fav games of all time. Cant wait to see how this turns out.
"The Xbox 360 has become one of the most influential consoles in recent history and there’s no way anyone can deny the system has some great exclusives. In an era of gaming where exclusives have become very rare, the Xbox 360 has a stable of solid hits that no one else can claim. Not every Xbox 360 exclusive that has come out has received critical acclaim. In fact, we’ve compiled a list of the worst Xbox 360 games to release. While, exclusives tend to be a reflection of the hardware they release on, we can forgive the 360 for these horrible releases. Here’s our list of the worst Xbox 360 exclusives to hit store shelves."
Oh no. Having one of their beloved spartans in the image is enough to give the diehard Halo fans a heart attack. But I agree!
The list is spot on but I would like to add a few more:
Fable 3
Crackdown 2
Ninety Nine Nights 1 & 2
Velvet Assassin
Ninja Blade
Perfect Dark Zero
Race Pro
Stoked
Deca Sports
I could name many more, but I digress.
I was like why a Halo game if its sold so well and its the face of the xbox brand. Then I read it was ODST good game but should of been a DLC at most, not a whole retail game.
Against the grain, it seems .. but I *adored* ODST.
The game felt so deliciously lonely. The atmosphere was fantastic, a score that was wonderfully different from most modern day games within it's bleak noir, the storytelling was wonderful.
I'll take something along those lines ahead of any number of popular grey, cheesy shoot em ups.
If Miyamoto Musashi had known that his legend could inspire this wreck of a game, he would have committed ritual suicide immediately, sparing the world the torment of playing it. Every single aspect of Kengo: Legend of the 9 has been stained by failure
Devs of this game should be ashamed of themselves. The original Xbox had a superb game like Ninja Gaiden. This thing, Kengo is weaker than first gen PSone games in terms of control and gameplay and feels like an early 3D game. But the graphics are nice compared to the gameplay.
Ninja Gaiden is on another level. One of the best game for the xbox along with halo and unreal championship 2
This game was released in Japan more than a year ago. Just plain stupid to release it in the west now.
