Vanillaware x Marvelous present an action RPG for the ages. Hack and slash your way through a world of restless spirits and Demon Blades. The tales of six fabled protagonists of Japan's Genroku era, each with their own unique fighting style, are about to unfold.

An action RPG for the ages re-emerges better than ever, combining Muramasa Rebirth and the add-on Genroku Legends for the first time. Step into a stunning 4K world steeped in Japanese myth and culture, and take up your blade for refined 2D action and an elevated Muramasa experience filled with new features, including all-new localization and English voiceover.
New and returning players alike are sure to find a fresh, exhilarating experience awaiting them.

Deep in the Genroku period of Japan's past, six protagonists fight through a land teeming with wickedness in the hopes of seizing control of their fates once and for all.
From one who is possessed by the cursed sword Muramasa, to another who swears to avenge their master, and one who pursues love with unwavering passion, each unique story stands on its own. Discover these six distinct tales in any order you choose as they unfold across a beautiful world steeped in the supernatural.

Cut down the malevolent spirits and dastardly villains that block your path. Chain normal attacks together to naturally unleash combos, then mix in dashes and jumps for even more exhilarating combat as you move fluidly across the ground and the air. Parry and even deflect attacks in the thick of battle.
Muramasa’s controls are easy to grasp, yet offer plenty of depth, giving everyone an opportunity to perform spectacular sword-fighting moves.
Unleash powerful single strikes, wide-area attacks, and ranged attacks, all with a single button press. Combine them with normal attacks to overwhelm your enemies with relentless combos.

Forge new swords imbued with powerful skills as Kisuke and Momohime, with the help of the swordsmith Muramasa.
Alternatively, undergo training to learn new skills and create charms that grant special effects as Okoi, Gonbe, Arashimaru, and Rajaki.
Through further forging and training, you’ll unlock new swords and skills, improve your stats, and steadily grow stronger. Both require souls obtained from defeated enemies, so collect as many as you can as you fell your foes...
Expand your tactical options by mastering skills, freely switching between them in battle.
Kisuke and Momohime will master the skills imbued within swords as they use them in combat. You can assign up to three mastered skills for both ground and aerial combat, and switch between them freely. The more you use any skill, the more proficient you become, increasing its potency.
Experiment with different combinations to learn the strengths they offer, and find the pairings that suit your playstyle.
