Developed by Acquire, this title is part of the Way of the Samurai series and emphasizes player freedom, branching narratives, and moral choice.

🗡️ Game Description

The game unfolds in the fictional region of Gishu Amana, where power has shifted into the hands of Fujimori Shuzen, a brutal and ambitious warlord who seized control after overthrowing the Sakurai clan. The player assumes the role of a ronin (a masterless samurai), whose actions can significantly influence the fate of the state.

• Support the fallen noble houses to restore honor,

There are multiple branching storylines and endings, determined by your actions, allegiances, and even how you engage with minor characters and quests.
