    You’re not going to blown away by Katana Kami: A Way of the Samurai Story. Don’t expect it to amaze you in any way. It is, however, a very enjoyable dungeon crawler that’s very easy to sink time into. Developing powerful swords and using them to get further into a cavernous dungeon is as engrossing as you’d expect it to be. And the fact that those swords could be lost at any moment should you suffer defeat adds tension. This isn’t the Way of the Samurai experience you’re probably used to, but it’s just as entertaining nonetheless.

It's not even a way of the samurai game, i dont know why they'd called it that. It dungeon crawling aspect is mediocre to crap, the controls are junk, and the story was sad (not in a good way either). If this is what Acquire is doing now, then i dont want them to have money. Just port the WotS series in a collection to PC/Switch/PS4, and dont even mention this abomination.… Full Review »

If you are a Shiren the Wanderer fan, or just enjoy high stakes procedurally generated dungeon crawling, you will probably like this. This kind of game is not for everyone, but it fits very will within it's specific niche. It's perfect for portable system like the switch. It's a little hard but for it's genre I would say the difficultyis about average. Easy enough to be accessible, plenty difficult enough to keep you from getting bored.… Full Review »
