Alright so, it is currently 12:22 AM as I'm writing this, technically it's a friday but SHUPUP I made it in time I swear, it was an extremely busy day but I'm glad I got the video done, I hope you enjoy this episode! There will be another one next Thursday so be on the lookout for that.

With that being said, welcome back to Obscure Game Thursdays! In this episode we're taking a look at Bujingai: The Forsaken City, a hack n slash action game made by Taito in collaboration with Red Entertainment who previously made Gungrave, a game we talked about.

It's an extremely funny styled game with super fun combat sequences, with the right refinement, and a better story, it really could have been great. Oh yeah, the main character is played by Gackt, so that's pretty cool, too.

Any artworks used in the outro are directly from Melty Blood: Type Lumina, except the gif of Neco Arc dancing which is by LillyAlbarn: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/lillyalbarn/caipirinha-neco-arc-gif and the drawing of Neco Arc with drip, which is by hottuchippu: https://twitter.com/hottochippu/status/1430245301269549057 and my artwork is by Rakuyo. Out Of Touch is a song by Daryl Hall and John Oates, I don't own it.
