The game is set in Yamato, a dark medieval version of Japan. It is ruled by a ruthless emperor, Zanshin, who turned himself into a powerful dark warlord. He commands an incalculable army of darkness and is determined to conquer the whole of Yamato, even if it means slaughtering innocents. As one of the four clans (Mori, Oda, Tokugawa, and Toyotomi) controlling the seven samurai, the player must stop the dark warlord at all costs.

Gameplay

Characters

During gameplay the player is allowed to choose from seven different samurai. The choices included are the Swordsman, the Brick, the Berserker, the Wizard, the Archer, the Ninja and the Leader. Some people have noted similarities with the previously released game Diablo II, which is natural, since most of the game's developers were the same people who worked on Diablo I.
