Way of the Samurai

Way of the Samurai

The collapse of the Tokugawa Shogun era and the rise of the Meiji Restoration era ended the age of the samurai in 1878. Way of the Samurai puts you in the role of a wandering samurai who is drawn into a conflict between the Kurofu family and the Akadama clan over an iron foundry. As you meet with both sides of the dispute, you'll be able to influence the outcome of the conflict with deception, betrayal or combat. Collect dozens of different swords, each representing a different fighting style.

Story

The Tokugawa shogunate, a samurai clan that unified Japan for 265 years during the Sengoku period, has fallen. Now, ten years later, with the people who once ruled Japanese society (samurai) outlawed, a lone ronin (samurai without a ruler) has arrived at Rakkotsu Pass. Three factions are competing for control of the outpost. Your decisions will determine who rises, who falls, and who will survive these turbulent times.
