About
Choose this if you want a relentlessly revenge-focused samurai adventure with lots of sword fights and big emotional pressure; Not for you if you dislike graphic violence or get bored by fast-cut battle sequences, similar to 13 Assassins and The Warrior's Way.
Pros: brutal sword action; revenge-driven story; memorable intensity | Cons: dense character roster; can feel repetitive; very graphic violence
