THE LAST BLADE is a fighting game released by SNK in 1997, set in Japan’s Edo period with a roster of unique swordsmen to choose from.
Thematically the game is similar to the “SAMURAI SHODOWN" series, but also features a wealth of innovative systems to set it apart.
One such system is the ability to choose between “Power” and “Speed” styles when selecting a character.
The “Power” system focuses on high damage while the “Speed” system focuses more on intricate combos and speed.
The game also features a unique “Hajiki” ability that allows players to deflect or repel attacks.
The game also allows the player to cancel super attacks into Desperation Moves adding another strategic element to the game.
Finally, the game features a wealth of flashy attacks thanks to the inclusion of Super Secret Skills and Super Desperation Moves.

### 5/5 — 十分遊べます。

*2025-03-23*

iPad第9世代とXboxワイヤレスコントローラーを使用していますがフリーズも無く遊べています。
コントローラーの認識はスタート画面の右下に丸いアイコンをタップして設定します。各ボタンを割り当てられ、アナログスティックと十字キー両方使えるように設定も可能です。
アーケード版なのでトレモはありませんが難易度変更できるので難易度を下げて昔のように地道に練習はできます。
