Finished this game today Aug 18, 2022 on the PCSX2 emulator for PC. Achieved Ending #5.
So... the story of Way of the Samurai takes place in 1878, after the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate and the start of the Meiji period, during the Satsuma Rebellion, a time when the samurai who were once at the top of Japanese society are all but outlawed. The game begins with the player, taking the role of a wandering ronin by the name of Kenji, arriving in a fictional outpost called Rokkotsu Pass.
Learning the mechanics of sword wielding was quite a steep learning curve for me as a new comer to the game. Challenging experience if you are not used to hack and slash mechanics. Overall, a very interesting Samurai game.
