Is NeoGeo Online Collection Vol. 2 - Bakumatsu Roman - Gekka no Kenshi 1, 2 still worth playing in 2026?
A Japanese reissue from SNK Playmore, this NeoGeo Online Collection volume gathers both Bakumatsu Roman Gekka no Kenshi, known in the West as The Last Blade, sword fighting games with a twilight atmosphere of late feudal Japan. The beauty of the pixel art, the parry system and the melancholy of the staging make them esteemed classics of the genre. The Japan exclusivity limits access. A refined 2D fighter for fans of sword fighting and polished Japanese aesthetics.
