'Warrior Blade: Rastan Saga Episode Three' Is This Week's Arcade Archives Release

The classic arcade beat 'em up, Warrior Blade: Rastan Saga Episode Three, has dropped on Nintendo Switch and PS4, through the Arcade Archives series. This game was originally released in 1991 for Japanese arcades and follows Rastan and his companions on an adventure to uncover treasure in Depon.

According to Famitsu, this week's release will feature a wide, two-screen layout designed to resemble the original arcade experience.

The game is seen as a return to form from the disappointing Rastan Saga II.
