What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Sword of the Samurai is praised by players as an impressive and addictive classic strategy RPG with charming art, deep gameplay variety, and engaging political simulation, though it suffers from a confusing interface and poor in-game guidance that requires external guides to fully understand. Players view it as a fascinating piece of gaming history that remains compelling despite its age, though newcomers should be prepared for a steep learning curve.
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.3 found this helpful
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.2 found this helpful
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!2 found this helpful

Its a jank ass treasure.1 found this helpful
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!
