“I’ll cut down anyone who stands in my way. Even the great mountain!”Elegantly portrayed in an ink-and-wash painting style, play as the last samurai of a war-ravaged era in which he lost the lord he served. In order to avenge the lord's death, you must level up, unlock new abilities, collect various equipment, and constantly strive to become stronger. Do not forget: The path of revenge is very perilous and painful, and when you die, the only way is to start from the beginning. Only a true samurai who understands the way of the sword by cutting down countless enemies will survive to the end and finally leave his name in history!
