Collector interest

An application of Koei's musou model to the Fist of the North Star license, where one cuts through hordes while reproducing the bursts of stylized violence from the Buronson and Tetsuo Hara manga. This Japanese and Asian edition joins two fervors, that of musou faithful and that of Hokuto no Ken fans, whose nostalgic aura sustains demand. Its interest owes to this crossing of licenses and to a less common regional pressing.
