Bushido Blade 1, got quality graphics for its time and for 3d, and as it for me ultimately at all since I like mostly games like of 90s, 00s, early 10s.
Original gameplay in quite a few ways. The most obvious and main is, the game like made big accent on realism, and it have a one hit/thrust/slash slaughters.
Big and massive level, with snow, mud, water, wind, way up, way to underground, and more.
Quality music.
No music throughout story battle, but relaxing and nice nature sounds, with actually good like pretty levels.
More of realism about being at disadvantage once you nerby a wall, tree, etc, since it hamper to make swings slashes, thus could use it in gameplay as a tactical move (it kind of hamper for attacking player too which is afar from the wall but then it hamper way less, thus the game retain realism).
Injured arms and legs which limit your abilities in battle.
Could make attacks while laying on the back.
Pretty animation of swings by light radiated weapon slashes.
Costumes, stages, and music, are depend on certain modes of play, while in other games usually costumes are free to choose and stages have certain background music tracks attached which associated with certain characters.
Even though the game like have few cutscenes, yet I do liked animation, movements of characters, camera angles, voice acting, which despite brief moments have managed to make it look touching. And ninja character I've used are look badass and cute really.
Few drawbacks include. Silly and weak opponents even on hard difficulty. Unable to manage music and sound in options. Big level take time to load certain areas of it.
All in all it seems similar to Samurai Shodown, but it just done in 3d, and slashes could be more lethal. The similarities are scenery and art oriented style of the game like overall, strong attacks, few combos, nice ambient sound throughout battle, quality music, etc. Additional similar games are Deadliest Warriors: Legends, certain Slaavic Pollish game about Cossacks, and Bushido Blade 2.
Code of Bushido is a certain set of rules for honorable battle. Exactly in the game like Bushido Blade, a honorable battle defined by few factors, and main is, to wait at the start and let opponent to make entrance speech and to ready his/her weapon and pose. If not to do it you to have immediate decisive advantage and be able to attain to your titles and record an easy few seconds win. Exist few more rules of Bushido in the game like, however I'd not said they bring you actual advantage in battle at all. And additional rules was wrong classification (which get even more obvious since by Bushido rules of the game like you do allowed to use ranged weapon, throw water and snow and mud into face of opponent, attack on the back, etc. It all definitely good like in my Bushido book code of ninja [especially against Gaga gang Taylor crew Diddies], and in this game like too). As I already have mentioned it, in game like all but one anti Bushido rules are do not bring you actual advantage in gameplay battles (while you do could get a lot of advantage by applying Bushido rules of the game such as using ranged weapon, throwing water snow mud into opponent, etc). And basically only actual relevant practical Bushido rule in the game like which is a real Bushido, and it's to wait at the start and let opponent to make speech and ready their weapon. The rule to which I've adhered and kept in tact, for bringing quality gameplay, destroying enemies in hardcore way and exhibiting good like aspects of the game like, and actually to get to last boss too since if you to play as anti Bushido your path end early and you be unable to battle last boss Hanzaki hen chicken twin of ape Diddy Gaga gang Taylor crew freak.
As it is usually being with my vids, the game like walkthrough are having allusion against enemies, and in Bushido Blade 1 game like it's only one which is last boss Hanzaki, which is even though one however Hanzaki was able to twin to them numerous freaks Gaga gang Taylor crew Diddies. Hanzaki is crucial key chicken rich and famous and influential dirty nasty sleazy disgusting freak (Hanzaki which have been as dirty nasty sleazy disgusting, as by using money fame richness influence, to conspire and bribe and hire freak with gun weapon, which is as unfair and anti Bushido as possible really), same as Gaga gang Taylor crew Diddies freaks too. In Bushido Blade 2 exist allusions too, curly ass hairs are Diddies Gaga gang Taylor crew, and other enemies are Gaga gang Taylor crew Diddies freaks too.
Bushdo Blade 1 vid got few walkthroughs.
1st. Ninja technique. Applying certain crafty sly moves by utilizing realistic aspects of the game like, which even though sly yet it do being Bushido and fair enough. However, by not the best rules of the game like, those certain moves have been qualified as non Bushido, thus 1st route end early.
2nd. Outmanoeuvering, correct movement, exact distance measurement, and precise accurate execution of moves by sniping lethal thrusts/slashes. Now basically if you just to see the walkthrough by simple eye, you could not know thus much of things have been actually involved in such a brief battles, since battles are really brief. And even though it could look not exactly as the most entertaining battles, but damn those thrust and slashes are nice, neat, and actually cool and lethal. The walkthrough use among main aspects strats of the game like which is to outmanoeuver opponent, wait for opponent to do mistake attack early and miss, and then punish lethally by precise thrusts/slashes.
3rd. Bushido Blade, with storyline, cutscenes, quality gameplay, completion (you even can see more of loading screens with inscription of a word Bushido, lol, same much as you could see in original walkthrough, since this 3rd completion are as close as one chunk walkthrough as I could get while maintaining quality battles gameplay overall). I could make a one chunk walkthrough without losses and it was simple to do it actually even on hard difficulty, however, I've decided it would be better if I keep splicing up vids by having quality battles while ommiting losses alongside with clumsy and visually not the best looking wins, about this 3rd walkthrough too, same as I've did it about 1st and 2nd. It's all the way authentic battles and it do exhibit cool aspects of the game like, yet it's not a one segment completion since vids have been spliced up, since losses and visually not the best wins have been ommited. However, few battles actually was done consequently in correct order sequence as authentic one chunk walkthrough. As Bushido as I could get, while retaining quality gameplay, visually cool good like batlles and walkthrough completion. Ultimately in the end, Hanzaki was pierced through and through body and soul by precise timely brutal thrusts twice. Hanzaki chicken twin of ape twin of Gaga gang Taylor crew Diddies, and such Hanzaki have been castrated, vagina dislocated, decapitated, fed piss shit, same as it was done by Godly eternal Ghost art.
Bushido Blade 2 vid walkthrough was spliced up 4 times.
1st against enemy with gun.
2nd once I've got Ruussian ninja to play, to exhibit her technique good like.
3rd after Ruussian ninja have defeated her enemies, for not losing good like play continuation of Ruussian ninja.
4th against last boss, to have good like fight.
It was possible to make walkthrough in one go without losess, however then battles would consist mainly of just dash forth slaughters. Initially I tried to combine stuff, to make diverse cool moves at the start, and then like at about after the middle just dash forth to the last boss. However eventually I've decided to splice up vid after all. The walkthrough being mostly one piece completion, yet the vid was spliced up at the gun enemy, and after it each level have been spliced up too. And all battles at all are authentic really.
Bushido Blade 2. Got dream cast of characters for me. It includes Ruussian/Irrish/Jaapanese (Red Shadow ninja are being Ruussian. Night Stalker ninja have few phrases with Irrish accent, thus he Irrish. Tatsumi are being Jaapanese) by which I've played, all belonging to Tatara Shrine crew.
Got beauty original attire of Ruussian ninja, which make her whole body and herself look as a pretty present. Got clone attire of Ruussian ninja from Bushido Blade 1, which now in Bushido Blade 2 being on Irrish ninja. Got original futuristic attire of Jaapanese really.
