Kengo: Master of Bushido

Kengo: Master of Bushido est un jeu de combat et la première entrée de la série Kengo. Développé par Genki, il est sorti sur PlayStation 2 sous le nom de Kengo au Japon le 14 décembre 2000 et sous le nom de Kengo: Master of Bushido en Amérique du Nord et en Europe le 3 janvier 2001 et le 30 mars 2001 respectivement par Crave Entertainment. Il a été universellement critiqué comme une "déception", principalement en raison de sa comparaison acerbe avec les titres de Bushido Blade.[1]

After defeating each rival school, the player must earn their place as the head of a school. Randomly, the player will have access to the Imperial Tournament, which is the final goal of the game. The tournament is fought with steel swords and start each match with full health. The player can still challenge other schools and victory earns their school's sword. Equipping different swords gives you a unique "special move". At this point in the game, the player will be randomly challenged by either the master or unique student of other schools and cannot decline. Losing such random encounters strips the character of that school's sword. Both the life and Ki bars can be hidden from battle, and the status of a wounded character is displayed during battle.
