About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty, action-forward samurai tale with a clear code of honor and frequent ambushes, in the vein of Shogun Assassin or 13 Assassins; Not for you if you dislike episodic plotting or extreme violence.
Pros: inventive sword fights; strong moral code; tense road encounters | Cons: episodic story flow; lingering unresolved conflict; over-the-top body count
