I just got this game today. I'm absolutely loving it. It's under-rated nature gives it a certain...prestige. Not everyone knows about it, but it seems the few who do have a very palpable level of pride in completing it. You train constantly. There are no ridiculous quests that run you across a 400km square map to find the(insert object name) of (insert hero name/adjective) This is one of the few games that actually seem feel like the real thing.
a cool thing to do with bushido blade style gameplay would be to have a mass scale war, and you be in the middle of it. that would be cool, but because of the chaos of a war maby they should let you wear armor so you dont die super fast
does any one know any other kengo games like this as i thought this game was amazing and underated also and iv been wanting a game like it but the newest kengo is only on 360 and other then them 2 there the only kengo games iv heard of aparently you guys are saying bushido blades related?
@MegaDragonHero Bushido Blade is similar but not connected to Kengo. i'v been looking for a new game that is similar to Kengo but unfortunately i haven't really found any. If you want to play a good samurai type game i'd recommend playing Way of the Samurai for the ps2. its a great game and will only cost about $15. if you enjoy that game then you should consider playing the third installment for the PS3. i didnt like the 3rd game very much but the first Way of the Samurai is amazing.
i like this game alot. probably because i never played the bushido blade series. the only real flaw is that it has almost no features at all. theres only tournament, vs and that bullshit single player which is basically a very long training mode
Shozaemon Hyuga can kill his opponents in less than 10 seconds. Sometimes less than 5 seconds. I know; I've done it. You need to pick the sword style where the disciple is a guy named Yatsunao, and one handed moves that combine sweeping slashes, and lightning fast transitions from downward to upward strokes. It is also important that the slashes "flow" into each other, like a diving swallow, or falcon.
@AzurBlaz You're not the only one living there. I don't really see them ever releasing a BB sequel. In today's modern market, it just wouldn't sell unless they released it as a downloadable game. Fighting games in general are mostly dead except for the main ones (Street Fighter, Tekken, Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter) this generation of gaming, so something like BB really wouldn't sell. I could see some epic online sword battles if they ever implemented multiplayer with more than just 1on1 tho
I feel like this is justly underrated BECAUSE if the original bushido blade...i was wondering what games you consider the worst games you have played...out of curiosity i mean
@brettboulet You know, I don't really focus on the bad. I'm not of the opinion that there are a ton of bad games out there, just a ton of average ones. A lot of games people say are bad are perfectly playable, just not spectacular in any way. If you didn't know there was something better out there, you'd be inclined to like them. For me to really think a game is bad it's gotta be a broken, Glitchy, unplayable mess of a game. Otherwise I'm inclined to rate it as playable, but unspectacular.
This game is very underrated. Being a martial artist, I can appreciate this game. Sure, it is not completely realistic as far as the life bars and multiple attacks to kill the enemy with a real sword, but it still has its values.
@theplasteredgaul That's why I always check the games after the "competent" employees put them in the cases. Granted, sometimes I still overlook their stupidity like when they put the wrong game in a case, or the right game, but for the wrong system. Like when I bought full spectrum warrior on the PS2, and got the Xbox version instead. I decided to keep it though, because I didn't feel like going back to the store for just that game. I usually check them either in the store, or in my car.
@teh2Dgamer then i was bummed because i took it back out to the store and they didn't even have it in stock. My question is if its not in the store why put the case on display?
@theplasteredgaul It's because most gamestop employees are too incompetent to even know what they have, or how to look for it. Plus, it's PS2, so they don't care about it.

I find it unfair that the game gets compared to Bushido Blade so much. I get its the spiritual successor, but thats as far as it goes. The game is of its own unique series, with completely different gameplay elements. With that said, im not the biggest fan of this game. It has great ideas, but the controls and camera can be a pain. Same with the lack of impact in the game ( It never really felt like you were getting hits in). At least those problems were more or less fixed by the third one
@TheNoname9889 Taken from wiki: Due to disagreements between Squaresoft and the games' developer, Light Weight, the series ended abruptly with this game, despite the fact that this game's ending left open the possibility of a sequel. Light Weight would later use the same game engine in the Kengo series."
It's only natural that the two get compared. Kengo is essentially a watered down version of Bushido Blade.
well sice im collecting ps2 games that are intersting to me maybe i might get this one last but this doesnt look as good as way of the samuria or way of the samur 2 or you could get into tenchu
My cousin has this game. Our favorite thing to do is to get the opponent bleeding and run away from him until his health bar is completely depleted. He'd collapse and we would laugh, especially if the opponent were running around when it happened. Good times, good times.
kengo 3 dude they ruin the franchise this game was amazing and the story mode was is one of the best ive played in the genre you got to enter tournaments go around and challenge other rival dojos and learn there fighting still. then u can incoparate them into your style the level of customization was very high but you probably enjoycrack cocaine at a steady interval if you think kengo 3 is better the original
i used to have this game and dont know anyone else who did . a bit tricky to master all the moves but when you get a good exchange of blows and parrys this is a real blast . i would give it 7/10 but when you get into it 10/10 . nice one teh2dgamer
It's not a sequel to Bushido Blade. It took some ideas from Bushido blade, but it took them in a different direction. There is a Bushido Blade 2, and then there are the Kengo's, 1, 2, 3 and then 'zero'
@teh2Dgamer Wow 300 all I got is around 80 or 90 games. Heres a good pick. Wrath Unleashed. Gladius Shadow Of Rome Spartan Total Warrior Mr. Mosquito Blood Oman 2 Well I have a lot more. I only Remember those because those are the one Im playing right now. But yea Gamestops in the Ghetto are gold mines of all Ps2 games man.
thanks for showing me this again... I spent so much time in K3 that I forgot how good K1 was... I cant' find K2 though... I heard it was exception... SADLY Kengo legend of the 9 disappointed so hard.
uh oh the switcher has favorited this... that can only mean he's planning to put it in the worst fighting games ever part 2. Although this game wasn't bad and it kicked off the best Samurai game I ever played Kengo 3....
Even if you don't like this game, it's light years away from being even close to included as one of the worst Fighting games off all time. I've played some really bad fighting games in my time (Criticom), and this is far from it.
the switcher is a very clever and creative youtuber who takes bad cartoons and games and makes fun of it on his channel check it out sometime. You might've already seen his work "Street Fighter Stupidity exhibition" 1 and 2... Anyways I agree it shouldn't make his list Kengo even Kengo1 was the shit. I loved it. It made a very worth successor to the Bushido Blade series.
It's got some cool features in it that are worth playing. I'm not sure if you'd find it to be better than other fighting games, but it's definitely got some cool features to it, and is worth a look if the gameplay vid interests you.
the only real thing i dont like about the game is the health bar and speacial meter nothing will ever replace bb1 or 2 in fact i think bb needs a come back. also more game swould benefit from not having health bars or at least making them optional and displaying damage in "real tie" so to say like bb did and the UFC 2009. think of tekken or DOA with no health bar and when you do some weird ass grapple crippling your foe sure it would be harder to balance but the idea is worth exploring
@R0YB0T This game had 1 hit kills, me and my friends used to call this one character the green demon because he wore green and had this deadly throat level hit that killed or severely wounded :D
Much love for this game. It's like a monster raising/training game, but with samurais. It's kind of crappy, but it was an early, early PS2 game. Any developer without their head shoved entirely up their ass could've did something with this.
Way Of The Samurai isn't terrible, but it sure as hell isn't this. Anyone know how Japan's actual sequels are? I've always wondered. This same structure with more customization and a halfway decent story would keep me entertained, easy.
Assuming you actually are at 92%, do you remember/can you explain why as of 60% it takes a SUPER long time until you earn another move? It's been at least 50 days of attacking other schools and still no move-drops.
I am now at 100%..and all that is required to earn a new move is to notice it.
It took me months to do.
When you enter a dojo, the first four students usually attack with moves already acquired.
-Train with insight and agility for easier parrying and maneuvering. Then challenge the dojo that uses the move you want to gain. Either dodge the first attack in the chain and then attempt to parry, or attack the opponent until they are close to defeat.. and let the attack connect before finishing.
Thanks for the reply. I dunno, after [mis] reading this, I boosted my insight thinking that it would help my character notice the new moves (cause I spotted them fine). I picked up 7 new moves after being stuck at 66% for 40 kengodays. Did you turn off your Spirit and Health gauges cause the game seems to be handing em' out easier since I did that.
I didn't figure out why the other opponents took so long to show their style.--maybe it has to do with the Fame score.
Insight will help with your parrying..and I think I kept my agility no higher than 5000.(attack power at 4k--attack speed very high--insight higher than 3k--and spirit around 3k.)
A tip you could apply (if your serious about earning moves) is to try out certain characters' forms while in the Tournament..or in two player.
Ichiun has been flashing this one-handed stabbing move for so many bouts now and I've dodged it, blocked it, ate it, died from it and it's still not mine :(
If you want to get 2 hit kills, pick the sword school where Yatsunao is the disciple you have to defeat; Yatsunao is the dude with the psychotic scream I think. I'm sure you'll figure out what combos to put together.
I really don't see what was up with all the hating on this game; I visited the PS1 games "Bushido Blade," and frankly, even for the era they stunk. When I tried, I was decent but I couldn't get into it.
I understand where people come from though; the elimination of the one hit kills, did hurt this one a little bit but come on, it wasn't a deal breaker!
Also, I used to own this game, and after about 2 months I got so good, I could kill guys with only 2 hits. Its not impossible; the timing must be FLAWLESS though. The guy I used was the guy on the left; I used a one handed sword style, forgot its name. The key, is to develop a combo system, where the first stroke moves the sword in a wide arch, while the second stroke is a direct stab. Timed correctly, two hits, and only two hits will do it.
Also, in Japan it is illegal to show dismemberment in video games. Now, with the Onimusha series, you are killing monsters, not people, because the game involves people, to accurately depict this would be illegal in Japan.
I understand your point, but, although the Japanese Katana is indeed ridiculously sharp, and you can look for youtube vids where it shows bullets being sliced in half, even with that sharpness, you need skill and perfect timing to kill someone with one stroke. In other words the sword's sharpness is not enough, the swordsman himself has to be REALLY, really good, really well trained.
The fighting system was innovative and fun in a lot of ways. However the lack of content, variety, pace and the fact that it is supposed to be a successor to an infinitely more immersive series made this game far too shallow to enjoy.
From your perspective you have a good point. On the other side, tho, if all games of this kind were that realistic not only would the be less fun but also repetitive (every game would take just one or a few hits/strokes/shots/etc to get ridd of any opponent). Then again, since this game has a very realistic roots (mostly by being Bushido Blade's spiritual succesor) it's obvious why someone would find it funny.
Best game if your are into realistic sword fighting. Too bad the gaming press has the mentality of ugly 12 year olds. If a game doesnt instantly gratify or appeal to the large group of Mountain Dew drinking idiots called gamers, it gets a low score (which translates to low sales and no real sequel).
I've been looking for this game forever. A buddy of mine had it. You do only get one life if you play against a friend. No button mashing in this game. No stupid sequence memorizing impossible to block moves. And if you die in career mode you start over. And it ain't easy.
i dont like when people call this the unoffical sequal yes its done by the same devoloper as 2 and has the word bushido ....it lacks the unique health system of bushido blade........i want a game like that again
Yeah, Bushido Blade 1 & 2 were my favorite games on PS1. Just got Kengo yesterday for $4. Thing about this game, it may be too realistic for some people. Really no music or special effects, just constant repetitive training and dueling, training and dueling. This was pretty much the life of a samurai, training solely for the sake of becoming better. Serious students of the Japanese arts like myself might enjoy this more than the avg teen that just wants to have fun bashing heads.
hey is bushido or kendo real difficult because I was going to take taijutsu and jiu jitsu and I walso wanted to learn kendo just for the sake of learnign something new
Bushido is not a martial art, but a code of ethics and behavior by which samurai in Japan lived by. Kendo is a modernized sport version of swordplay that has roots in traditional kenjutsu. It seems you like the older arts, the ones that are "jutsu"(Taijutsu, jujutsu) rather than the modern arts which are "do" (judo, aikido, karate-do. "Jutsu" were military/tactical sciences, main goal was to win the fight. "Do" prepares you for self-defense and/or competition, but also personal development.
Love this game. Actually just found a copy of it a few weeks ago for $4 at a local Gamestop. I too chose Hyuga and trained him at the Hirata Dojo. The game play really is addicting with all the different combos you can try out.
Your first priority is striking strength, and the one after that speed. Again; Zhosenmaon Hyuga is so lightning fast, that if you up his strength enough, and use the one handed sword style Yatsunao belongs to, IT IS possible to kill the enemy in only three hits, I've done it before many times. I really wish there was a reliable PS2 emulator so I could show you.
I believe there is a fucker named "Yatsunao" in this game; he's got a weird, creepy scream, and he is one ugly fucker. He is the disciple of the sword school you want to study at.
good choice Zhoezenmaon Hyuga; he's lightning fast, however, that is not the best style. Find the following moves; it has to be a one handed sword style, emphasizing speed. The moves you want; the first one is a downward strike, which immediately turns into an upward strike, after that, he does a spinning strike. With that combo, you can kill your adversary in three clean hits.
is this a capcom game? i keep hearing resident evil sound effects

uh oh the switcher has favorited this... that can only mean he's planning to put it in the worst fighting games ever part 2. Although this game wasn't bad and it kicked off the best Samurai game I ever played Kengo 3....
SomedaysDreamersBC 2 years ago
Who's the Switcher?
Even if you don't like this game, it's light years away from being even close to included as one of the worst Fighting games off all time. I've played some really bad fighting games in my time (Criticom), and this is far from it.

the switcher is a very clever and creative youtuber who takes bad cartoons and games and makes fun of it on his channel check it out sometime. You might've already seen his work "Street Fighter Stupidity exhibition" 1 and 2... Anyways I agree it shouldn't make his list Kengo even Kengo1 was the shit. I loved it. It made a very worth successor to the Bushido Blade series.

It's got some cool features in it that are worth playing. I'm not sure if you'd find it to be better than other fighting games, but it's definitely got some cool features to it, and is worth a look if the gameplay vid interests you.

the only real thing i dont like about the game is the health bar and speacial meter nothing will ever replace bb1 or 2 in fact i think bb needs a come back. also more game swould benefit from not having health bars or at least making them optional and displaying damage in "real tie" so to say like bb did and the UFC 2009. think of tekken or DOA with no health bar and when you do some weird ass grapple crippling your foe sure it would be harder to balance but the idea is worth exploring
streetninja0070 2 years ago 5
This game stinks when compared to Bushido Blade and BB2.
Those games had no health bar, one hit kills if you hit something vital and limb damage.

Much love for this game. It's like a monster raising/training game, but with samurais. It's kind of crappy, but it was an early, early PS2 game. Any developer without their head shoved entirely up their ass could've did something with this.
Way Of The Samurai isn't terrible, but it sure as hell isn't this. Anyone know how Japan's actual sequels are? I've always wondered. This same structure with more customization and a halfway decent story would keep me entertained, easy.

I AM UP TO 92%

btizubayer 2 years ago
Assuming you actually are at 92%, do you remember/can you explain why as of 60% it takes a SUPER long time until you earn another move? It's been at least 50 days of attacking other schools and still no move-drops.
nostyleja 2 years ago
I am now at 100%..and all that is required to earn a new move is to notice it.
It took me months to do.
When you enter a dojo, the first four students usually attack with moves already acquired.
-Train with insight and agility for easier parrying and maneuvering. Then challenge the dojo that uses the move you want to gain. Either dodge the first attack in the chain and then attempt to parry, or attack the opponent until they are close to defeat.. and let the attack connect before finishing.
btizubayer 2 years ago
Thanks for the reply. I dunno, after [mis] reading this, I boosted my insight thinking that it would help my character notice the new moves (cause I spotted them fine). I picked up 7 new moves after being stuck at 66% for 40 kengodays. Did you turn off your Spirit and Health gauges cause the game seems to be handing em' out easier since I did that.
nostyleja 2 years ago
I didn't figure out why the other opponents took so long to show their style.--maybe it has to do with the Fame score.
Insight will help with your parrying..and I think I kept my agility no higher than 5000.(attack power at 4k--attack speed very high--insight higher than 3k--and spirit around 3k.)
A tip you could apply (if your serious about earning moves) is to try out certain characters' forms while in the Tournament..or in two player.

pillsburydoughboy47 2 years ago
If you want to get 2 hit kills, pick the sword school where Yatsunao is the disciple you have to defeat; Yatsunao is the dude with the psychotic scream I think. I'm sure you'll figure out what combos to put together.
pillsburydoughboy47 2 years ago
Shoezaemon Hyuga is the guy to play as!
0:05 he's the dude on the left.
pillsburydoughboy47 2 years ago
I really don't see what was up with all the hating on this game; I visited the PS1 games "Bushido Blade," and frankly, even for the era they stunk. When I tried, I was decent but I couldn't get into it.
I understand where people come from though; the elimination of the one hit kills, did hurt this one a little bit but come on, it wasn't a deal breaker!
pillsburydoughboy47 2 years ago
Also, I used to own this game, and after about 2 months I got so good, I could kill guys with only 2 hits. Its not impossible; the timing must be FLAWLESS though. The guy I used was the guy on the left; I used a one handed sword style, forgot its name. The key, is to develop a combo system, where the first stroke moves the sword in a wide arch, while the second stroke is a direct stab. Timed correctly, two hits, and only two hits will do it.
pillsburydoughboy47 2 years ago
Also, in Japan it is illegal to show dismemberment in video games. Now, with the Onimusha series, you are killing monsters, not people, because the game involves people, to accurately depict this would be illegal in Japan.
pillsburydoughboy47 2 years ago
I understand your point, but, although the Japanese Katana is indeed ridiculously sharp, and you can look for youtube vids where it shows bullets being sliced in half, even with that sharpness, you need skill and perfect timing to kill someone with one stroke. In other words the sword's sharpness is not enough, the swordsman himself has to be REALLY, really good, really well trained.
pillsburydoughboy47 2 years ago
The fighting system was innovative and fun in a lot of ways. However the lack of content, variety, pace and the fact that it is supposed to be a successor to an infinitely more immersive series made this game far too shallow to enjoy.

From your perspective you have a good point. On the other side, tho, if all games of this kind were that realistic not only would the be less fun but also repetitive (every game would take just one or a few hits/strokes/shots/etc to get ridd of any opponent). Then again, since this game has a very realistic roots (mostly by being Bushido Blade's spiritual succesor) it's obvious why someone would find it funny.

Best game if your are into realistic sword fighting. Too bad the gaming press has the mentality of ugly 12 year olds. If a game doesnt instantly gratify or appeal to the large group of Mountain Dew drinking idiots called gamers, it gets a low score (which translates to low sales and no real sequel).

Ninjamazing 2 years ago
Yeah, Bushido Blade 1 & 2 were my favorite games on PS1. Just got Kengo yesterday for $4. Thing about this game, it may be too realistic for some people. Really no music or special effects, just constant repetitive training and dueling, training and dueling. This was pretty much the life of a samurai, training solely for the sake of becoming better. Serious students of the Japanese arts like myself might enjoy this more than the avg teen that just wants to have fun bashing heads.

SDub817 2 years ago
Bushido is not a martial art, but a code of ethics and behavior by which samurai in Japan lived by. Kendo is a modernized sport version of swordplay that has roots in traditional kenjutsu. It seems you like the older arts, the ones that are "jutsu"(Taijutsu, jujutsu) rather than the modern arts which are "do" (judo, aikido, karate-do. "Jutsu" were military/tactical sciences, main goal was to win the fight. "Do" prepares you for self-defense and/or competition, but also personal development.

intrnalbleedingizfun 2 years ago
Your first priority is striking strength, and the one after that speed. Again; Zhosenmaon Hyuga is so lightning fast, that if you up his strength enough, and use the one handed sword style Yatsunao belongs to, IT IS possible to kill the enemy in only three hits, I've done it before many times. I really wish there was a reliable PS2 emulator so I could show you.
stardingo747 3 years ago
I believe there is a fucker named "Yatsunao" in this game; he's got a weird, creepy scream, and he is one ugly fucker. He is the disciple of the sword school you want to study at.
stardingo747 3 years ago
good choice Zhoezenmaon Hyuga; he's lightning fast, however, that is not the best style. Find the following moves; it has to be a one handed sword style, emphasizing speed. The moves you want; the first one is a downward strike, which immediately turns into an upward strike, after that, he does a spinning strike. With that combo, you can kill your adversary in three clean hits.
