Ronin Blade/Soul of the Samurai Retrospective

Ойындар

Often pegged as a Resi/survival horror clone, we're going to explore why Ronin Blade/Soul of the Samurai is more than "Resi in a kimono".

    This is the PERFECT Ronin Blade video review. It's everything I hoped an ideal review of the Game would be. The story, the weapons, the special attacks, the different custom, the music - they all merge to create a badass game which will forever be etched in my memory. Highly recommended even in 2024. Thank you so much for making this! 🙏💙

    I grew up with this game. I was enchanted by the PSX demo. I loved this game so much. I really love your input on the Japanese culture. I also love Onimusha and felt both games were deeply similar. Both end bosses are kind of similar. They both have betrayal beats. There is a lot that bind them together. Samanosuke and Kotaro are really similar as protagonists. I feel they are in the same universe. Thank you for this really exhaustive and thoughtful video essays. It really brought back a real trasure from my childhood.

    I LOVE this game so much. I kick myself for selling it back in the day. But I will get my copy back someday.

    Oh man, I remember this game, you can even fight an infected musashi with the Samurai. Not sure how I did it (I think of you kill enough of the zombies in the zombie rush part) though then you can get his weapon if you beat him 😁

    I got the feeling if this game was remade today, it be a mixed between Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice or Way of the Samurai series and the Resident Evil 2 & 4 remake.

    I put countless hours into Soul of the Samurai, it's a shame that unlike a lot of other games for the ps1 era, the chances of this one ever coming back for people to buy seems low or not at all.

    I couldn't finish this game ever. After the 300 zombie part I always felt lost

    If you master the special attacks and different weapons, you'll pull through it ✊

    I pissed the guy that made me copies soo much about this game, when i accidentally ruined the cd the very next day i got it, he never made a 2nd copy, and i never played this again, but the last decade i've been dreaming with a remake of it After seeing what i missed a few years ago here, i'm glad i had tenchu to scratch the itch, and didn't get bored with this, it would ruin the fantasy

    No it doesn't. Sekiro should always be about Wolf. Not another character nor a woman.

    No no my friend, sequel this, remake this, remaster it but Sekiro doesn't need a sequel and if Miyazaki ever decides to go back it should stay Wolf's story and his fighting style. Sekiro is precious and must be protected from modern gaming lol. This game too! If it's ever brought in, it HAS to keep it's soul. I vote leave it in the past, no sequel. Cuz the second you let that monkey out it's gonna get infested with DEI politics and just get WRECKED and sales completely tanked and whatever legacy this game has will get rolled. Lol
