Our take on THE LAST BLADE

The bounce point arrives when the fighter selection screen gives access to only 12 characters unless a specific input sequence is entered to open the two bosses. Players expecting a large starting roster may find that unlock step restrictive before reaching multiplayer or the leaderboards.

What is THE LAST BLADE?

This 2D weapon-fighting title features an arcade path with 12 selectable characters and two additional bosses that can be made available.

Players select Power mode for straightforward attacks with greater damage or Speed mode for a more technical play style. The arcade sequence pits the chosen fighter against 10 opponents and ends with a story conclusion unique to that character. Steam multiplayer supports friend invitations and lobby-based matches. Leaderboards display rankings and scores for friends and other players. Settings cover video, controls, sound volume, and menu language. Windows XP is not supported.
