Here is where the problems come into play. Of course, because you’re a samurai, you will be doing a good amount of sword fighting, and by a good amount, I mean a ton of it. There’s a lot to it when it comes to choice. You can even acquire something at a store, choose to not pay for it, and have the store owner chase you around town. You are constantly doing missions for people around town both for factions or regular townsfolk. If you side with one or the other, some story bits may be missed due to how you play.

The game is heavily driven on choices you make and the effects it has on the story. Of course, there are some that love the foreigners and hope to establish trade with them. The British have begun settling in the town, and some of the townspeople are not too happy about it. It is an open world game that has you take control of a nameless samurai that has just arrived to a new town in late 1800’s Japan. Also, finding the right thing to wear is always a challenge, moreso when courting a young woman by sneaking into her home and wrestling with her, at least, that’s how Way of the Samurai 4 makes life seem for a samurai.Īs you can tell, Way of the Samurai 4 is one unique game. There’s always someone trying to kill you, people always nagging you to break other people’s vases, and choices you have to make that will make another group of people want to kill you.

Being a samurai back in the 1800’s is not a very simple task.
