Copied from PlayStation DataCenter:

The Last Blade (Bakumatsu Roman: Gekka no Kenshin), is a fighting game series created by SNK for the Neo Geo system. The Last Blade and its sequel are widely considered to be two of the most accomplished games available for the Neo Geo system.

The game takes place during the late Tokugawa shogunate era in Japan, and incorporates various elements of Japanese mythology. As such, the background music generally incorporates synthesized instruments simulating a sound appropriate to the 19th century setting, in a Western classical, pseudo-Romantic style.

The Last Blade series is seen as a spiritual successor to SNK's Samurai Shodown series, due to it being a similar 2D weapons-based fighting game. The gameplay is characterised by two selectable fighting styles, and a unique combo system along with a "deflect" system which involves pressing the D button at an opponents attack. Upon deflecting, the opponent is left open to attack.
