Weekly Game Review: Bushido Blade

[Dr. Boogie]

Yes, those "death before dishonor" people never played against Rog.

It's a great game, though. My biggest complaint was with the blocking mechanic. You have time your block almost perfectly to block, which is fine by me. My problem is that after I would block an attack, I wouldn't be able to block the next one. Plus, some of my successful blocks would leave me off-balance, which sort of renders blocking pointless.

Also, and I've asked this of Rog many times in the past, I don't see how a 1.2 kg sabre can easily knock a 4.1 kg broadsword aside with nary a flick of the wrist.


Edit: Also, does anyone use the naginata or longsword, because both Rog and I have found them to be utterly terrible weapons.
