RadarPlays - Bushido Blade

As RadarPlays Retro continues its new schedule (which is every other Wednesday), we dip our toe into the PlayStation era for this week's game. Released by Squaresoft in the afterglow of Final Fantasy VII's blockbuster release, Bushido Blade. The deadly fencing game didn't have a deep roster, but it made up for it with the surprisingly deep gameplay we enjoy in this video. GamesRadar editors Henry Gilbert, Lucas Sullivan, and Lorenzo Veloria sharpen their swords and take the oath of the samurai in this new video.

Want to hang out with GamesRadar's editors while taking a look at retro games, new releases, and totally random experiences? RadarPlays is for you. Every Wednesday, we'll help you get over the hump with the blasts from the past in RadarPlays Retro or the bizarre obscurities of RadarPlays Freaky. We'll also release RadarPlays for new releases whenever they come out, so be sure to check back!
