Asura Blade: Sword of Dynasty
Asura Blade: Sword of Dynasty is Fuuki's first of two attempts at making a one-on-one 2D fighting game; its sequel, Asura Buster, is the second. The story revolves around the search for the eponymous Sword of Dynasty in a war-torn world.
The game features eight playable characters, as well as two boss characters, only briefly usable in single-player mode using codes. It uses a simple three-button control scheme and sticks to more basic motion inputs for its roster's special moves, for greater accessibility. Its colorful visuals and detailed background art take inspiration from contemporary entries in the Darkstalkers and Street Fighter Alpha series.

About This Game
In a post-apocalyptic world where fantasy and technology coexist, the Sword of Dynasty is the most powerful weapon in existence — capable of granting any wish to whoever wields it. It has reportedly fallen into the hands of S. Geist, a warlord who intends to use it to release the Earth Dragon, an ancient sealed creature, and harness its power for total domination. Eight warriors are independently pursuing the sword for their own separate reasons, none of them aware that their paths are converging — and that the outcome of their individual battles will determine the fate of the world.
