About the series
1863. Japan. It is the twilight of the Samurai. After finding his adopted brother standing over their father’s bloody corpse, seventeen-year-old swordsman Kaede sets out on a journey of revenge and to hone his god-like powers if they don’t kill him first…
Based on the fighting game series by legendary Japanese developer SNK!
About the game
Debuting in 1997 as a one-on-one fighting game on SNK’s beloved and massively successful NEOGEO MVS arcade machine, The Last Blade captivated players with its in-depth combat systems, gorgeous visuals, and roster of imaginative characters. Set in 19th century Japan after the end of the country’s over 200-year long isolation period when Japan reopened its borders to the world, the game seamlessly merges elements of history and classical Eastern mythology with an emphasis on character drama and storytelling.
