About the Game

Kill monsters, earn money and experience, spend money on better gear and experience on better stats, then crush your friends or the AI and try to win before they can.

Step into the waraji of a samurai from a minor clan, sent out by his daimyo to slay the evil corrupted dragon that has stirred up the yokai and caused chaos in a small province of fantasy Japan. A wealth of honor will be bestowed on you and your clan should you succeed, but failure equals cold, hard death. Between you and the dragon stands a horde of yokai, bandits, ninja, and even rivalling samurai who want nothing more than to step over your dead body and beat you to the goal.

Features:
  • Play solo, or with up to four players in local or online multiplayer
  • Earn xp and money to level up your character to be able to take on bigger challenges
  • A variety of different items and services that can help you, or hinder your enemies
  • Visit one of four different locations in which you can spend your money on equipment, healing, items, and other services (or just gamble it all away)
  • 17 different enemies, including three boss-type encounters
