Way of the Samurai 4
Summary
Set just after Japan opened its borders to the West in 1853, Way of the Samurai 4 inserts players into a world of opportunity and uncertainty as a masterless samurai looking to make a name for himself and continues the series’ blend of customization, exploration, action gameplay and quirky humor. Taking their place in the overall power struggle amongst the region’s powers, players are given the choice to align themselves with one of three factions: the shogunate pro-government forces, the nationalistic isolationists, and the foreign powers who are directed by the British Navy.

Acquire's joyously unusual samurai series, totally unmade by some seriously questionable gameplay tweaks.

If you crave a slice of nudge-nudge, chop-chop weirdness, it's a curio shop worth visiting.

Way of the Samurai 4 places a lone samurai straight into the conflict between the local Shogunate, a British trade attaché and a local extremist faction near the end of the Edo era. Through five very busy days, the fate of a small town may be decided. What could have been an interesting period piece falls a bit short due to shallow combat, a reliance on repetition and relatively low production values.
