You start off with a bo shuriken, and get more as the game progresses. You can get permanent increases to your life and stamina bars, as well as being able to hold more ammunition for your eventual range weapons. This free roaming mechanism will be helpful throughout the game. The first village is sort of a tutorial on that. The game lets you free roam in certain sections, and most of them happen when you're not fighting. After a quick conversation with Aiko, daughter of Sanjuro (voiced by Sarah Emi Bridcutt of "The Rising of the Shield Hero"), you decide to take your 3 moves and a sword bigger than your body out to see what's going on. After you finish the tutorial, Sensei Sanjuro is rushed off, because someone is attacking the village. Of course if you can't, the move list is readily available with the click of a button. If your stamina runs out, you enter a tired state, and will be susceptible to high damage. I implore you to remember as much as you can. Swinging your sword, or increasing your speed (with a separate button) also costs you stamina. You can also block, and parry, but this costs you stamina. That means you will always be facing the enemy you're fighting. To turn around, to face an enemy behind you, you have to hit a button. You can swing your sword different directions depending on your button inputs. It also shows your life bar and stamina bar. Sanjuro won't let you proceed without completing his instructions. If you're like me, I usually take the tutorial with a grain of salt, and go in with swords swingin' and clingin'. And I cannot express enough how important this tutorial is. Voiced by Masayuki Katou of "Naruto Shippuden, "Sword Art Online", Hiroki is in a training dojo with his sensei Sanjuro, The Mentor (Voiced by Hiroshi Shirokuma of "Naruto, "One Piece"). You start the game with a younger version of Hiroki, the Defender. Even the villages and the people who inhabit it all have that feeling that you are a immersed into an epic, memorable journey. The dialog is all in Japanese with subtitles. The game really does look like an old samurai movie, from the characters, to the fact that the entire game is in black and white. The developers also had help from Kakehashi Games and historian Aki Tabei Matsunaga, so they really did everything to make sure this game hit all historical points. His sources come directly from 19th century Japan, and the Edo Dynasty he even went to the Edo museum in Tokyo to make sure this game was depicted accurately. To give some background, Leonard Menchiari started writing the script for this game in the year 2000. The audio, the visuals, the controls, all of it. And without gushing about it in the first paragraph, I don't see how this game is only $20. And yes, I'm starting this review with favoritism, what of it? They have teamed up with the lovely people at Flying Wild Hog ( Shadow Warrior 3), to bring us a 50's inspired Samurai Game based on Japanese mythology called Trek To Yomi. Devolver Digital is one of my favorite publishers.
