“Musashi: Samurai Legend” (“MSL”) is the next-generation sequel to “Brave Fencer Musashi,” which originally appeared as a new IP on the PlayStation 1. While “Brave Fencer Musashi” was a Squaresoft effort (and complete piece of garbage), “MSL” came after the merger of Squaresoft and Enix into Square Enix. As a PlayStation 2 sequel to a game that largely fell flat due to the technological limitations and lack of 3D design knowledge of the 5th Generation, “MSL” had the opportunity to reboot the ‘Musashi’ franchise into something worth getting excited about. However, the obscurity of “MSL” today means that didn’t happen. Is “MSL” a sleeper reboot/sequel that has been left unappreciated despite its greatness? Or is it just another dud like its predecessor?... |
