Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade

Danny Neleman at Retrolike.net

Jul 31, 2025 | Score 55

“Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade is a technically well-made game, with a very appealing look and overall production. The lack of added value to the strict roguelite gameplay, with no procedurally generated levels or enemy encounters and no real way to excel within each run, makes Yasha a game whose initial veneer wears off extremely quickly. The mundane story delivery does not help to motivate you to power through to get any satisfaction in the end, making it a mediocre experience at best.”

“The Sinking City had a great idea, but it was ultimately poorly executed. The remaster was a chance to address its main flaws: combat playability, mission structure, and level design. However, only the graphics got attention when they never needed them. The revamped visuals do admittedly look very good and make Oakmont feel more immersive, but they were a misplaced priority when everything else was unbelievably poorly tuned.”

“Death end re;Quest is making its mark on Nintendo Switch with a fine balance of cute anime style graphics to temper the exceedingly malevolent and gruesome violence that truly is necessary for the plot. By the time the end game approaches a melancholic air descends because time is almost up for the beloved Shina and her sweet smile. Replayability is a must for completionists who want to encounter every clue in the game, and also for those who love the very screwed up universe in World Odyssey. Apart from occasional confusion on story progression, there are minimal negative aspects, with difficulty levels making lesser skilled players able to enjoy the intricately layered plot and higher skilled players able to sink their teeth into the complex battle mechanics.”
