As a competitive game, it makes much better use of the swordplay system the game uses, having a similar balance to the Soul Calibur games through the use of not only blocking, but deflections and parrying.

Obviously game saves can be copied between memory cards, but the process can become tedious. This encourages the player to play through the game multiple times to see the different branches in the storyline rather than simply reload. When you load a saved game, which is only allowed at the end of a day in the games timeline, that save game gets deleted. You can only save once for each play through.
