Travel the wilds of feudal Japan and belabor yourself to tasks and jobs set forth by erstwhile employers in need of help. As a traveling sword of sorts, players tackle various missions in Aizu, Osaka, and Satsuma. As your reputation and renown grows, higher level assignments will come your way. Some battles are fought one-on-one against legendary swordsman that are encountered along the way but battles against the rabble are common. When dueling man to man, players adopt a defensive stance and strike and slash with disciplined strokes while parrying oncoming blows. Swords that meet during these encounters will sing with the din of steel and rings of illumination are not uncommon sights as the power of the blows light up the local area. When its time to fight crowds, the defensive stance is still adopted but the swings and smashes sway a little wilder as enemy agents take their turns attacking and retreating. In order to keep things on a somewhat even keel, the enemy group never attacks en masse but rather demurely sends in a couple of warriors at a time for our hero to smite down. The others stand around and seemingly gawk. View the back cover.
