Again, I think this design is great.” – IGN“Multiple endings, tons of weapon customization and plenty of replay offer up a package that is a must buy for fans of the first two games.” - ZTGD 7ad7b8b382 Title: Way of the Samurai 3Genre: Action, AdventureDeveloper:ACQUIRE Corp.Publisher:Ghostlight LTDRelease Date: 23 Mar, 2016 Way Of The Samurai 3 Update 8 Download Way of the Samurai 3 is essentially a choose your own adventure RPG with a sort of fighting game like combat system. You can unlock new moves through practice, forge swords, etc etc. You can also murder anyone in the world, if you want (the manual tells you not to kill all the save point NPCs if you plan to save your game, which is a wise piece of advice). You control a samurai who is left behind after a catastrophic battle, trying to find your place in a small town. There's a couple main factions, and depending on your choices different events will take place, culminating in some kind of confrontation with the man trying to unify Japan, Nobunaga. Or perhaps if you do things just right you could join with him...?There are a few major storylines though within those there's still some variation based on what you did. A full playthrough isn't too long; its clearly intended for replays, since your weapon case and skills carry over and higher difficulties may be almost impossible without upgrading. True, it's not a high-budget game--the town's not huge, and the endings are just scrolling text--but it's a cool chance to live for a little while in a town and do the Ronin thing. So it's cool.This is a pretty mediocre port: it looks just fine, but it's 30fps and the game does not play well without a controller. Well, this is still better than no port at all, I suppose! Eat your leeks and just be happy!By the way, if you run into a woman being accosted by two bandits, that's the tutorial lady. You're free to ignore her (or kill her, you monster!) but if you're confused she can give you some help and point you towards some melee training to boot. So that may help. Underrated.. Honestly like this more than way of the samurai 4. Much larger maps more challenging reminds me more of the first one in the series.. This game is an anachronism. Even though this was released in 2008 I could only see this having been fun and engaging in the PS2 era. This kind of game design is so frustrating and past it's prime that you won't find any enjoyment here. I'd say buy it if you can time travel to the past when this kind of game design was more of an acceptable standard (especially with Japanese releases.)Give this one a pass.
