What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"...Blood Will Tell is a lot more intricate than at first appears. It may be something of an ugly duckling, and it's depressingly likely that it'll sink without trace as a result, but after a few stumbling steps it soon becomes apparent that Hyakkimaru's journey to find the sum of his parts is indeed greater than the sum of the game's. If you like slashing and hording within intelligently structured worlds and have no problem sinking into the non-conformity of Japanese manga, then Blood Will Tell may well surprise you."
"Osamu Tezuka's storyline alone makes Blood Will Tell worth playing."
"The camera is obtrusive, the collision detection questionable, and the platforming elements are absurdly unnecessary and very unwanted. Fortunately, the boss battles are engaging and hearken back to a time when gaming was about both reflex and pattern. This nostalgic appeal coupled with a genuinely unique premise will let devout followers of the creator or his work get into Blood Will Tell, but likely only for a limited time."
"It’s got a wonderfully dark an original story, which is complemented with dynamic (if not slightly cliched) characters."
