Hana no Keiji: Kumo no Kanata ni (1994)

Hana no Keiji: Kumo no Kanata ni is a weapon-based versus fighting game based on the manga of the same title (created by Tetsuo Hara). There are two playable modes, in one you can follow the manga story, while in other you can fight against the computer or player two. There are eight different characters and scenarios to choose from. When following the manga story, there are different paths depending on the choice that the player makes. The most significant thing about the versus battle is that the characters can lose their weapons as much as recover them. Also, a special trick can be executed when the player has enough energy.

Storyline

During the closing years of the civil war period and uneasy reign of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, when men high and low scramble to follow conventional propriety so that they don't attract undue notice (or death) to themselves, there is one very bizarre individual who is known for his legendarily outlandish and wild personality, physical appearance and behavior. Experience the adventures of Keiji Maeda from personal conflicts with his adopted Maeda family, brave combat exploits, travels to the capital, and relationships with famous existing figures such as Iyeyasu Tokugawa, Rikyuu the tea master, and Hideyoshi himself, to experiences with the foreign and Japanese Christian faithful.
