An action-adventure inspired by Tezuka Osamu's manga where a samurai progressively loses his limbs, replaced by demon weapons. The original premise and dark world are captivating. Combat is satisfying despite a temperamental camera. A cult adaptation.

Is Dororo still worth playing in 2026?

A Sega action adventure adapted from Osamu Tezuka's manga, Blood Will Tell follows Hyakkimaru, a warrior deprived of forty-eight parts of his body by demons, who reclaims his humanity by slaying them one by one. The concept of bodily reconquest, the dark feudal Japan mood and the varied combat give the adventure a real identity. The dated handling and a fickle camera have aged. An endearing curiosity for fans of atypical action and devotees of Tezuka's work.
