Games that are on the lighter end of the spectrum in terms of scope and price can be tough to evaluate. If you’re dealing with a budget title just how much variety and depth should you expect? Mononoke Slashdown is a title where that question comes pretty heavily to the front. In terms of its look and base mechanics it’s got some things on its side and plays pretty well in terms of fluidity. That said, though some new elements and enemies are introduced and there are some nuances to combat you can start to pick up on there’s also just not a lot of meat on the bones. For a low price if you want to get your slash on it may not be a bad choice but just because it’s cheap doesn’t redeem it not being terribly engaging for long.
