February 2018 Loot

 Last month got plenty of generous promotions in Tokopedia with Chinese New Year within the month. Since i got some pocket money, i went on quite crazy shopping spree around this time and bought stuffs off my wishlists. Saved myself around $100 through the generous promotion by Tokopedia which 8 out of 9 included Cashback Promotions. Through the shopping spree i got myself couple of rare stuffs whether it is Model Kit, Action Figure or Figurine.

Finally I bought myself Shinguji Sakura Figurine which is a must have as a Sakura Taisen Fan despite Sakura is not my favorite Heroine, As for Tieria Erde i decided to get her just because she is 50% off with further cashback some more. I also bought a second copy of VAH Rahxephon which i regretted not buying it earlier and hopefully i can get Raideen as well. For a long time already i also have been eyeing Kotobukiya's Black Sarena, because Sentinel's will definitely cost an arm and a leg despite looking promising. As i find SRC to be decent lineup to invest on, i decided to complete Big Order Room Set now as i got Hyoryu and Enryu, i still got two left and it is the hardest part to complete i would say. From GSC Product i got myself Nendoroid Estelle, Figma Caster and Parform Momohime. I think it is one of these days for me to complete Sora no Kiseki and Figma is probably the best lineup to invest for FGO despite they cost almost $100 nowadays.

I think it will be a while again before i am pulling off crazy shopping spree like this again but this time it is mostly too secure stuffs for my collection before they go out of market.

Muramasa Rebirth/Oboro Muramasa

Bought this from PSN when it was like $14 on PSN and it was really worth it even though i could get it cheaper on US PSN. I regret abit that i didn't get this game earlier but at least i finally know what is the deal about this game. Oboro Muramasa is one of the few games that can give you quite lasting impression because the production quality of this game is really high for its genre and the graphic in the game is just simply beautiful...

 

Oboro Muramasa is a 2D  hack'n'slash beat'em up game with a dash of Metroidvania feel which puts you into the shoes of two youths Kisuke and Momohime who are linked by the cursed legendary swords of Muramasa venturing on a quest across the land of Feudal Japan. In the beginning you can choose either character scenario but in the end you will have to play both scenario to get the true end for both characters. What really stands out from Oboro Muramasa is the graphic, as expected from Vanillaware who made Odin Sphere, the landscape in Oboro Muramasa is just really vibrant from the Samurai Castle to Snowy mountain the graphic is just beautiful and the music even make the game more immersive. The drawback from this game is that it can get very repetitive later on since you fight the same mobs from the beginning to the end. So far i have only tried Legend mode which is walk in the park though i heard Chaos is abit harder and Fury would be Challenging. Probably sometime in the future i will be getting the DLCs as well

Out of the 2 Character scenarios, i prefer Kisuke's endings since all of them concluded in somewhat happier tone compared to Momohime's which everything are pretty much bad end when i think about it. I don't think Muramasa needs any sequel but if Vanillaware wants it probably they will be able to pull it off. If you got a PSVita this is one of the good games you can get and i wish someday there will be a Vita port for Odin Sphere.
