Muramasa The Demon's Blade / Rebirth

From what I can see, this game can be described as a release very similar to Muramasa The Demon's Blade / Rebirth that replaces the traditional Nihonga art and mythology for a more "anime- / anthro- influenced" style and story.

Is this a correct assumption?

I'm going to guess that is a yes due to everyone ignoring the thread entitled with "that which shall not be named."

Combat is similar to Muramasa, but the rest of the game is very different: The game can best be described as a cross between Metroidvania-style exploration and Action-RPG style gameplay.

By Metroidvania, I mean that levels have alternate paths that you won't get to experience the first time you visit them, as you don't have the required abilities. As for Action-RPG elements, well, you have an equipment system, an item-crafting system, you choose where to assign stats as you level up, and there are a number of quests (both story and side-quests) to undertake.

The game definitely feels more like an RPG than Muramasa, and has more overall depth to it. Muramasa has more variety in its combat though. Both are truly excellent games that I highly recommend.
