Last Blade, The / Bakumatsu Rouman: Gekka no Kenshi ('The End of Edo' Romance: Fencers of the Moonlit Flowers) Japanese Box Art / Packaging Translation (Neo Geo AES)

Last Blade, The / Bakumatsu Rouman: Gekka no Kenshi ('The End of Edo' Romance: Fencers of the Moonlit Flowers) (Neo Geo AES) (1.29.98)

Perhaps SNK's most underrated fighting series. The somber mood and thick sense of atmosphere to this fighter set during Western influence in Japan was remarkable.

The year is 1863. This is tale that was not passed down. Set 135 years prior, during the Bakumatsu (End of the Edo era), it was yet another period of upheaval. With two sword styles (Power, Skill) along with deflecting, a new feeling of sword fighting is now here.
