Muramasa Rebirth gets catty

Muramasa Rebirth, an absolutely gorgeous hack-and-slash sidescroller for the Vita, gets new DLC today. Fishy Tales of the Nekomata — don’t ask me, I’m just delivering the news — adds a new character who uses claws instead of swords. She is the heroine in a new adventure highlighting how seriously people took tea back in the olden days.

Okoi and her brother are tasked with delivering her family’s prized tea set to the shogun. While on their journey, Okoi’s family’s chief retainer hatches a plan to steal the tea set, killing Okoi’s brother along the way. Swearing to avenge her brother’s death and maintain her family’s honor, she becomes a cat-demon.

Take that, Princess Peach and your Super Mario 3D World cat suit!

Fishy Tales of the Nekomata, which lets you summon a flurry of attack cats, is available from the Playstation Store for $5.
