About The Path To Die
Become a samurai, travel to Feudal Japan and slay your enemies with your right stick as your own katana.
The Path To Die is a top down pixel art game with action, adventure and a lot of exploration. In this game you will travel to Feudal Japan and visit different areas of a large Imperial Palace with its huge gardens, pagodas, cemeteries and villas where you will have to infiltrate and face a large number of enemies guarding it.
The combat system is one of the most important aspects in The Path To Die, unlike other games where you attack by pressing buttons, here your right stick will be your trusty katana and you will kill your enemies performing your attacks moving it.
