One of SNK corporation’s most beloved fighting games is finally on PC via Steam. This time however, it is not made by DotEmu but by Code Mystics Inc and SNK. Which means it is not an unplayable garbage of a game port. Reviews are reporting it working perfectly well at 60fps on modern hardware. It is only £5.75 right now after a 20% discount running until November 24.
Although not as popular as their Samurai Showdown series, the Last Blade series actually has better graphics, storyline and characters. That is because Last Blade 2 originally came out in 1998, so it has a lot more advanced than those that came out in the early 90s. The sequel Last Blade 2 is actually considered to be by many fighting game fans to be the best weapon-based fighting game ever.
