Nariko, the clan leader's fiery red-headed daughter, must take up the Heavenly Sword to survive. Join Nariko on her quest for vengeance against the King, before she pays the ultimate price.Witness the power of the PlayStation 3 as you delve into the deep, diverse combat experience of Heavenly Sword.
