An enticing blend of action and RPG adventure. The game mixes the best elements of both genres, resulting in a title that is just a hair away from greatness. Musashi may not be Zelda's equal, but it sure is close. [Apr 2005, p.84]

Overall, pleasant is the best word to describe this. Musashi: Samurai Pleasant. Sounds far more apt.

Musashi: Samurai Legend is hard to rate. Nothing in it is new and everything it has to offer has already been seen in other games in the same genre. Still, collecting the legendary swords and studying the enemy techniques is quite fascinating and keeps you playing. This game is a good choice for those who seek a bit more action oriented adventure than what your average Japanese RPG offers. [Sept 2005, p.70]

The biggest problem with Musashi Samurai Legend is the same problem that’s plagued a lot of Square-Enix’s recent titles: it just isn’t nearly as fun as it feels like it should be.

The mix of sword combat and platforming is just about right, and though most of the boss battles were simple pattern-based matches, the designs were sometimes cool enough that I was thrown back to the old days of bashing away at hulking robots and monsters.

The game just never really gets moving and therefore most of us will end up turning it off after a good twenty minutes.

Musashi: Samurai Legend does have some solid combat, a very dynamic art style, and a fantastic soundtrack. You feel awesome earning new abilities, and mowing through every grunt in your way. It's a bit on the shorter side, but it is replayable.
