Meet Josephine, Jo, a girl who likes to swing her Kendo stick on the way to school. Master Osaka has taken on the task of training Jo to face the evil of this world. This original concept brings us to Japan, where we train under the watchful eye of our sensei.

As SNES games are relatively small in level design and overall playtime, I thought I'll somehow manage to the end and see the credits. Surprisingly, this game was quite playable. Retro games suffer from a rather significant disadvantage. Although, for some, this would be something positive. Back in the days of hardcore gaming, we mastered stages to the point of complete exhaustion and disgust. Death by death, rinse and repeat. It was part of the fun, giving you the satisfaction of defeating a demanding boss or location. Nowadays, however, getting stuck playing a random title does not give us the encouragement to continue playing. I would care if I were more emotionally attached to Jo and her adventure. It is not the case with Kendo Rage, unfortunately. I know... I am just excusing myself. I'm a noob! :) ​ A checkpoint system would have been helpful here. After the fourth or fifth boss, I decided to let it go. Ciao, Jo!
