Lightning Swords (World) — About this game
Lightning Swords (World) gives its samurai one sword action whose strength builds while it is held. Releasing a longer charge produces a stronger blow, up to five levels, while Up supplies the jump instead of requiring another action button. The five-stage journey allows two brothers to fight together through feudal-Japan encounters and bosses. Learn a quick slash before holding a full charge near an enemy, then jump to reposition when a heavy attack would take too long to prepare. Four hits exhaust the current life, making recovery after the blow part of the approach.
