About Sword of the Samurai

Enter Japan in the age of warring states. At the center of this role-playing, action-adventure simulation of combat, statesmanship and intrigue, you are a samurai warrior struggling for honor. More important than life itself, honor is crucial to achieving your ultimate goal: unifying feudal Japan under your noble rule.

Game Features:
  • Computer-controlled opponents make decisions based on your actions - and on the actions of other rival characters.
  • Furious melee action against multiple warriors takes place in castles, villages and rice paddies.
  • Vindicate yourself in duels against rivals who would like nothing better then to diminish your Honor.
  • Feel the drama and immediacy of real-time battles involving infantry, cavalry and muskets on battlefields that vary with every conflict.
  • Untie all 48 warring provinces in common allegiance to you, and earn the title of shogun, military ruler of all Japan.
  • Fun and Easy to control!
  • Four skill levels, plus other starting options
  • An ingenious system of menus, animation and text windows - pioneered by MicroProse in Pirates! - conveys the detail of text with the fun of graphics and animation.
  • Authentic Japanese music and graphics powerfully evoke the mood of Sixteenth century Japan.

It is a great old RPG-strategy game that is worth experiencing. But you need to read the guide here because the game doesn't tell you much.

It's games like this that remind us just how good developers can be, even under such major constraints. The sheer scale of this game, the charming art, many distinct and fleshed out modes of play... overall it's so impressive. Shocking how great of a game it was considering it was made before the internet existed.

One of the greatest games of all time. It deserves a remake, but the 1989 original is still as addictive as it was when I first played it 35 years ago. Such great memories!

Dont let the interface fool you. This is a hardcore sim of the politics and living of a Samurai Warlord questing to be the Shogun. Epic combat, incredible minigames, so many ways of play to dominate as a wannabe Shogun!
