The game - The Last Blade - Neo Geo | NG

The Last Blade is a series of fighting games created by SNK for the Neo Geo system. The Korean version of the game is known as "The Last Soldier". Last Blade and its sequel are widely regarded as two of the most accomplished games available for the Neo Geo system, with fan opinion on which is better. The game is set in the era of the late Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan and includes various elements of Japanese mythology (with a heavy emphasis on the symbolism of the four symbols). As such, the background music typically includes synthesized instruments that mimic the sound of a 19th-century setting, in a Western classic pseudo-romantic style (unusual for a fighting game).
