Story

Rendered lovingly in the gorgeous Ukiyo-e woodblock print art style, grind on shrine rooftops, ollie between the pagodas and kickflip off the heads of the shogun's men to blade down the enemies who oppose you. Nagamaki Grind emphasizes responsive arcade skate movement in a 2D environment and blends that with action gameplay. Flow like water and keep your combo and multipliers going - build your score or speed through, seeking a fast time.
