Hardcore Square fans rejoiced when it was announced that the Brave Fencer Musashi series was coming back. I'm happy to report that these stalwarts will not be disappointed. In other reviews in this issue, I've taken games to task for sticking to staid design and plot clichés. Well, here's the review where I look like a hypocrite because, while it definitely features some well-worn concepts and plotlines, there's something oddly appealing about this game that keeps things feeling fresh throughout your adventure.
