description Bushido Blade 2 Overview
Bushido Blade 2 is a 1998 3D weapon-based fighting game developed by Light Weight and published by Square for the PlayStation.

The game introduces a larger, multi-branching narrative mode centered around the ongoing conflict between two rival Japanese samurai clans.
