Game description: Blood Will Tell follows the adventures of Hyakkimaru, a samurai who embarks on a quest to uncover his past and regain his humanity. Robbed of his limbs and organs at birth, Hyakkimaru with the help of Dr. Jyukai integrates weapons into his body. As Hyakkimaru, you can battle with various weapons such as blades embedded inside of his arms, a bazooka hidden inside of his leg, or weapons hidden in each level. Throughout the game, Hyakkimaru's friend, Dororo, guides you and fights alongside you. Only through cooperation, exploration, and violence will Hyakkimaru ever be able to live a normal life.
The game is based on the Japanese manga series Dororo, which was created by Tezuka Osamu. It concerns a hero named Hyakkimaru ("Little Monster"), who has had much of his body stolen by forty-eight fiends, and has prosthetic replacements. Along with his ally, the thief Dororo (comes from dorobou (どろぼう lit. thief), Hyakkimaru must defeat all forty-eight fiends. Both Hyakkimaru and Dororo are playable characters in the game.
