It's a new entry in the Way of the Samurai series, but unlike the mainline games, this has a top down perspective.

Coming to PS4, Switch and Steam

This is the overview of the game

Rediscover the ways of old in Katana Kami: A Way of the Samurai Story!

Play as a ronin during Japan’s Meiji Restoration in the volatile Rokkotsu Pass. The swordsmith Dojima falls into debt and his beautiful daughter is taken as collateral. Help repay the debt by crafting swords by day and exploring the mysterious, twisting dungeons of the Ipponmatsu Cave for valuable materials at night. But be careful: three powerful factions, the Post Town ronin, Akadama Clan, and Kurofu Family, vie for dominance of Rokkotsu Pass, and your fate lies in the balance!

– Hone Your Skills: Over 100 different weapons and 9 fighting styles means you can fight any way you please!
– Mysterious Dungeons: An isometric hack and slash with randomly-generated dungeons to explore
– Balance of Power – Ally, betray, or maintain neutrality in dealing with the town’s three factions. The fate of Rokkotsu Pass is balanced by the tip of a blade!
– Two Swords are Better Than One – Explore dungeons with your friends or cross swords and fight them!

Gunji Dojima
A hopeless blacksmith who is in deep debt.
His daughter Nanami is taken as collateral for his debts…

Yeah i replayed WotS 2 very recently, it was still a lot of fun.

I dig the art style of this one.

 

[brap]

oh boy a mobile game!

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

oh boy a mobile game!

Don't worry, it is coming to Switch Lite so that you can play it.

They are so fun and unique, we need more games like that.

Yeah the art is good, I hope he has a fun story like the others.

I'll take what I can get in the series. Though, I won't buy it on Switch because this has "PC port" written all over it.

I guess it's not a mobile game now?

Jeez Gaf is like a collection of all the worst gamers attitudes ever: console war, graphics whores,... everything is here.

lol, so, literally written.

I guess Diablo is a mobile game for you as well then?

Do you understand that top down action games existed before mobile gaming even became a thing?

Does brap have a yellow switch lite?

Do you understand that Diablo came out over 20 years ago and they didn't change the way it looks because people actually like the series? Doesn't change the fact this looks like some shitty low budget mobile game made on a budget of 2 paper clips and a half eaten pack of juicy fruit.

The genre still works though, Darksiders Genesis recently came out and it was very good, games like that still have an audience and personally i don't find them "low budget shitty mobile game" at all, it's just your opinion.

Old School games still come out and people don't find them for mobile, your vision of video games seems very limited.

Beyond that Way of the Samurai has always been a niche indie-ish series, along the same style of Tenchu. (same studio)

And that's why I was excited for this then see it's some stupid ass top down bs.

Is it an over the top action remake of the first game? I really wish there first game would get rereleased...

At least there aren’t very many soy boys here. They left for greeeeeee-ner pastures.

It should be a different story considering it's going for randomly generated dungeons with replay value, and online play.

 

[MasterDerico]

The Sims: Samurai.
Just kidding...

I personally not liked the changes.
