Unleash combinations of attacks and dodges specific to a range of authentic samurai weapons, including polearms, katanas and axes. Explore a fantastical and dark vision of 16th century Japan – fight alongside and against legendary heroes and villains of the Warring States period. Face brutal and grotesque enemies – stand alone against skilled samurai and demons known as the Yokai.
