Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Take the beauty of a classically Japanese Kuniyoshi print, combine with the ballet-like fighting of Crouching Tiger and you’ll have something approximating Muramasa. The complex design of backdrops and characters create some of the most striking 2D visuals to yet grace the Wii, while combat is intuitive and challenging. The plot – a quest for the ultimate sword – plays second fiddle to the enemyjuggling combos and general carnage dealt by samurais Kisuke and Momohime, while some of the bosses need to be seen to be believed. Well worth checking out for fighter aficionados.
