The Last Blade is a fighting game developed and published by SNK and released in arcades in 1997. It is set in a fictional version of late 19th-century Japan and features a roster of sword-wielding characters. The game uses a weapon-based combat system with selectable fighting styles that emphasize speed or power. Its presentation draws heavily on historical themes and traditional Japanese aesthetics.
"Two worlds once existed since ancient times... The world of the living, Ushyo, and the land of the dead, Tokoyo. A legendary boundary to forever separate them, The Hell's Gate, has existed since the birth of myths to keep an universal balance. There is said to be four gods that defend it: Seiryu of the East, Byakko of the West, Genbu of the North, and Suzaku of the South. They eternally perform their duty from the shadows of legend and were eventually forgotten by people as time passed. Now, it is the 'Bakumatsu'. The Tokugawa shogunate, after 200 years of reign, began to have samurai who long dulled their battle skills during the outskirts of the Heian period. People, who have long since grown used to peace, are met with fascinating foreigners and wonder about the confines of their isolation. To add to the confusion, a sudden disturbance occurs. A natural disaster unprecedented in Japan's history began. It was rumored to be the Majin Revival, a time when gods were to walk the land once more and deliver divine punishment. In a land where no chaos was said to exist, the people could do nothing but watch and despair. However, it was said that there are individuals who did not. People who haven't lost their fighting spirit and stood to face the chaos. Those who wanted to find the real cause behind the disturbance and stop it. Moreover, people who were unexpectedly born at the center of chaos. Those who had the ambitions to control the threat and those who are said to be the cause of the Majin Revival. Without speculation of their cause, they are brought together by a heavy fate as their battle begins." The passage to the land of the dead, Hell's Gate, which was previously guarded by Four Sacred Beasts appears to be opened. However, chaos sweeps the land once the gods are encased in human flesh, otherwise known as the Majin Revival. The story of the series continues to focus on how certain individuals choose to confront such conflict, and depicts how each of them are drawn on the same string of fate.

Despite the fact that DotEMU did yet ANOTHER BAD PORT JOB, HOW DO YOU GUYS KEEP GETTING WORK, The Last Blade on Steam is something I've been asking for ever since the first wave of SNK arcade classics getting re-released. Yes, the game is available for free on FightCade. Yes, The Last Blade 2 is overall a much better fighting game (despite no character specific stages and just how strong Zantetsu, Moriya, Washizuka, and Mukuro are at high levels). But being able to support this game and vote with money to tell SNK to make a Last Blade 3? ♥♥♥♥ yeah, I'll do it. I've been on this series for over a decade and I've been trying to get people into it for a very long time. I'm just glad it could maybe find an audience again, despite the bad port job. Seriously, Moriya teleporting can cause the screen to freeze. And the screen freezes on its own on Shikiyo's stage. Edit; Got boss code to wo
Product refunded this is an extremely bad port on a reasonably good PC I get abysmally low framerate, and on this meh laptop it runs fine. The PC shouldn't matter as this is an arcade game from 1999 and runs perfectly on third party emulators. It won't even let me set me controls correctly, I constantly tap the key I want the control to be mapped to and it just DOESN'T WORK I don't understand what's wrong with it but I'm definitely getting a refund.
Disclosure: I was given a review-copy for the purposes of review supplied by a formerly associated review-group I fell out of touch with under the user, Redhill. If you grew up during the late '90s and the start of the new millennium, then the name SNK has little to no bearing on you as much as other fighting-games, and that’s a shame. History has often forgotten games not because they lacked quality but they were behind the times, and The Last Blade was most certainly an aging, though as strong now as it was back in the past, relic of arcade fighters. Beneath the quarter-eating exterior that we may liken to modern microtransactions without the nostalgia of their novelty, these games provided short, worthwhile experiences that could not be done on consoles or PC hardware at the time. The Last Blade was one of those unexpected gems that has the distilled greatness of SNK like Shock Troo
Received key from the neogeo 25th humble bundle sale. Dotemu ruins another classic with their horrible and lazy porting. Game runs at 57 fps on my computer even though i have a fx8350 and gtx 670. Ui is barebones. Neogeo and mame emulators are better to play this game on no contest since they are free, offer better options and the game actually runs at the correct fps on the emulators. SNK needs to drop dotemu and either stick with codemystics for porting the old snk titles or give M2 a shot at it since they do high quality porting of old titles. Do not buy.
Fun, different and no stranger to some hilarious translation errors. Do not ask me why this game was chosen over the much more popular and overall superior The Last Blade 2. Still it is nice to see the first game get some appreciation. Expect the usual DotEmu port problems but I will recommend this because it is very functional and never gave me bad frame rates in the couple of hours I played and it is a game. I apologize once again for lack of experience with online play but given the usual folks working on this port you can expect a functional but pretty bad time where as local play and arcade work just fine and if you are into fighting games mostly likely you are fine with local play anyway. If not well I guess I cannot recommend this. Now I like giving SNK my dough but for the asking price of a game that is not hard at all to play by maybe-not-legal means and is less popular than it'
ℕ𝕖𝕠𝔾𝕖𝕠 𝕞𝕒𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕒 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕓𝕒𝕔𝕜... 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕚𝕥'𝕤 𝕘𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕥! Hello again friends! My writing is pretty rusty since I haven't done any reviews for a while. This time I'm bringing you The Last Blade, a Fighting 2D game from the Neo Geo era... If I were to bring back then gather all the cents I put in the Arcade machine of this game back in the day, I'd quite frankly be a millionnaire by now. Anyways, the plot goes like you'd expect: Rich guy gets a hold of an artifact, uses it to invoke a demon possessed samurai who'll wreak havoc on the world with all his rage... Rich guy gets ganked by a bunch of champions from Japan who are all, ahem... adepts of the blade. In other words they're all Samurais, Ninjas, Swordweavers etc... The artstyle is really the only reason why we'd plug in cent after cent into the Arcade machine without regret, and without hesitation... The slashing
