## About Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae

Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae, developed by Zenith Blue and published by PLAYISM, is a compact hack-and-slash action game casting players as a warrior maiden forced to hunt down her best friend, who has stolen a sacred demon blade. Parry timing, mobility cancels, a zanshin finisher, enemy-wave escalation, and upgrade investment drive fast, execution-focused katana combat. The 2014 release costs $9.99 and is Steam Deck Verified. About 81% of its 1,156 Steam reviews are positive. Reviewers praise the surprisingly deep combo system, noting that aggressive pressure is rewarded, parry timing matters more than combos, and the counter-punish feedback feels satisfying, with brutal higher difficulties pushing mastery. The mood reads as intense and contemplative in this short, single-player action game.
