- Fighting, Role-playing (RPG), Adventure, Action
As a peaceful town becomes victim to extreme violence and unrest, a Samurai arrives with the ability to change the town's destiny. In Way of the Samurai 2, you'll take on the role of the Samurai in feudal Japan and battle to save the town of Amahara. Now you can experience traditional Samurai techniques, with realistic swordfighting moves and more than 60 powerful swords. Whether you free the innocent or join the corrupt, your decisions affect the game's ending. The player, a starving ronin (Samurai without a lord), collapses at the gate of a renowned trading town called Amahara. When aided by a little girl the ronin is then introduced to the life of a samurai, whose decisions can give rise to various factions or lead to their destruction, or even stay out of the politics of the those factions.
