It definitely has a learning curve, though. The wind-up on some attacks is longer, so you're vulnerable if you miss. You really need to master the dodge and parry timings to use it effectively. But once it clicks, it's arguably the most powerful and stylish weapon in the game. It makes you feel like a total badass.

Oh, this is a great question! The developers did an amazing job weaving real history into the game's fabric. The main inspiration is clearly the late Heian period (around the 12th century) in Japan, a time known for the rise of the samurai class and intense clan warfare. The game's central conflict between the Oda and Fujiwara clans mirrors the real-life Genpei War between the Taira and Minamoto clans. You'll also see heavy influences from Edo period aesthetics in the architecture and art, even though that's a bit later historically. It's a beautiful, blended creation that feels authentic without being a strict history lesson. The attention to detail on things like sword smithing, tea ceremonies, and Shinto practices is just incredible.
