About Muramasa Burden
The world is invaded by the Yokai spirits. The resistance is destroyed and the hope is lost, but the whispers are calling you to accept the burden. Embrace the curse of mysterious katana with all of its power in order to reach the heart of invasion and defeat the God of Yokai. Everything requires a sacrifice…
The game narrative is inspired by Japanese mythology and built in the genre of dark fantasy. You will fight armed with the cursed sword on two unique looking locations with multiple arenas and bosses in the end of each location. Unique part of this Hack and Slash game is its health system. Instead of typical health points you have a timer, which represents the curse. You need to defeat enemies in battle in order to receive time. The curse also gives you superhuman abilities like instant dash and you can launch a deadly projectile with your sword.
Another unique mechanic is a demonic rage. Less time you have left - stronger rage becomes. It has two stages which trigger automatically and each stage increases your attack and movement speed, damage and It also enchances your abilities. If you want - you can manually activate special stage of rage. This stage will unleash the beast within Samurai, giving even more bonuses, but the timer will run significantly faster.
Use these gifts of the curse to defeat Yokai and banish them from our world!
After you beat the game - your record will be saved in the global leaderboard and you will be able to compete with other players for the fastest completion of the game!
The game is made by the student team of University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt, Germany. There are 5 members in internal team,2 sound production students and independent music composer.

"Muramasa Burden" is a student project from University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt in Germany. This year the students made a ho-hum top down brawler thing. I guess it's good enough for them to add to a portfolio but wait a minute... why is Steam continually being treated by educational institutions as a dumping ground for homework assignments? This is a case of educational institutions putting their marketing above and beyond what's best for gamers, and I'm starting to have a real problem with that. When you think of Steam, do you think "Great, now I have to mark some students homework assignment?" Maybe you do... but you shouldn't. What do you do in the game? It's a rather mediocre top down brawler thing... a tech demo at best. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mo…5 found this helpful
[h3] I'm currently doing a challenge to play through a free game in every single category on steam. I then give an honest review using ChatGPT. [/h3] Game: 22 / 447 [b] Category: Martial Arts [/b] Martial Arts? More Like Button-Mashing Frustration This game fails to deliver on every front. There’s no tutorial, so you’re thrown into timed levels without a clue what you’re doing. The controls are awful—clearly designed with a controller in mind but barely functional for PC players. The gameplay itself is clunky and unresponsive, making every move feel like a struggle. Combine that with the frustrating timed mechanics, and you’ve got a recipe for irritation instead of fun. If you’re looking for a martial arts game, keep searching—this one’s not worth your time.4 found this helpful

Muramasa Burden is visually great but tough to play. The difficulty might frustrate casual players.
it stutters alot, but it seems like a cool passion project, the combat seems abit bold and clunky
