About the Game

The samurai were proud warriors who were devoted to their jobs: to cut down their foes. As the Tokugawa Era began, Japan returned to a state of peace and the samurai found themselves jobless. They became drifters who travelled from place to place, tossed around like a wave. These men were called rōnin.

Play as a wandering rōnin travelling across the Japanese countryside in search of a purpose. Reclaim your lost glory and become a legend.

Features
  • Explore lively environments filled with wildlife and lush vegetation. Catch fish and bugs, hunt animals, and forage for mushrooms. Record unique species in your critter book.

  • Customize your character with hats, clothing, and katanas as you explore the world and defeat foes. Style your outfits to your liking with dyes and different clothing combinations.

  • Survive off the land by building campfires and cooking fish. Equip thicker clothing to survive in cold as you travel north towards snowy environments. Maintain your katana's steel by cleaning blood and sharpening with whetstones.

  • Cut down your foes with your trusty katana. Learn techniques and hone your mastery with the skill-based combat system. Challenge dojos, accept duels, and hunt down bounties on your journey to become the greatest swordsman.
