    Game is great my only complaints are the menu system and multiplayer system. I wish the game had 4 player co OP samurai dungeon crawling.

    It's not way of the samurai 5, but for what you're paying its a good game. The gameplay is fun, addictive and challenging. The characters and your interactions with them are quirky and funny. It leaves you wanting to revisit the series if you're a fan.

    Personally, I love this game. There's a lot of heart put into this game and it allows you to see how your actions impact the world

    Personally, I love this game. There's a lot of heart put into this game and it allows you to see how your actions impact the world around you. Newcomers to the series might be put off by its weirdness but fans of the series will love it. It has a lot in common with the Souls genre as well, so if you like challenges, you'll enjoy this game. For fans awaiting a potential way of the samurai 5, this is a good game to play in the meantime.

    Katanakami: A Way of the Samurai Story is on the easier side of the spectrum for a Mystery Dungeon title, but the way it infuses the genre with decent swordplay.

    Katana Kami: A Way Of The Samurai Story attempts to bring back a beloved PS2 franchise with a new twist. However, its lackluster execution and heavy repetitiveness leaves very little excitement in its wake. Fans might find some appeal here, but only consider this game if you're looking for a repetitive and simplistic dungeon crawler.

    Katana Kami A way of the samurai story is a nice throwback to the PS2 era, with an interesting combat system and plenty of replay value, but also plenty of repetition and a dull UI.
