The only other reviews I see are:

Edge Magazine UK - 6 out of 10
Ngamer UK- 89 out of 100

Seems like a wide range in the scores so far.

Ngamer said, "Expect the depth of an RPG and you may be disappointed, but for latent ninjas this blisteringly quick and beautiful action title will be like manna from heaven." Judging from that quote, it is better to think of this as an action game instead of a RPG.

Duh!

 

Shouldn't Muramasa be seen primarly as an action platformer game with RPG elements? Or are people looking at the screens/gameplay videos and thinking "Reminds me of Final Fantasy"...

I think the problem is that everywhere that I see this game, the genre is listed as RPG.  I think people automatically assume certain things when they see that.
