At a time where other 1v1 fighting games like Tekken and Street Fighter were taking a colourful, outrageous approach to the fighting genre, Bushido Blade tried its luck at duels that were a bit slower and required a mastery of the game's systems if you didn't want to end up a bloody mess.

More methodical than some of the faster-paced and button-mashing friendly genre releases, Bushido Blade was a true test of skill between two opponents in huge 3D environments.

With each character being imbued with a wealth of combat styles and abilities, and a fighting system that encouraged you to tactically disable your enemies' limbs before delivering a finishing blow, this high-risk, high-reward gameplay offered a great alternative to other fighting games at the time.

But the title's variation in design and the level of commitment needed to get the most out of its difficult brawling system turned off all but the hardcore players at the time of release.

However with games like For Honor gaining dedicated audiences and the market more welcoming than ever to different spins on classic genres, Bushido Blade's unforgiving combat would be a breath of fresh air for the fighting genre today.
