A crazed samurai hacks anything and anyone in his path to feed his personal sense of glory. Village by village, this unstable warrior kills with abandon and, more importantly, has no sense of honor or spirituality. He then meets an equally gifted swordsman, a principled fencing instructor, who just might end the wanton slaughter. [More]

Reviews for Sword of Doom
