Way of the Samurai (Video Game)	comment	Way of the Samurai is a Wide-Open Sandbox series set in historic Japan. So far there have been four games: Way of the Samurai, released for the PlayStation 2 in 2002. Way of the Samurai 2, released for the PlayStation 2 in 2004. Way of the Samurai 3, released for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 in 2008 in Japan. The game was released in the US on October 20, 2009. The game finally made its way to PC via Steam in March of 2016, courtesy Ghostlight. Way of the Samurai 4, released on the PlayStation 3 on March 3, 2011. Released in the US on August 21, 2012 by X Seed Games as a digital download title on the Play Station Network, and in Europe on October 5, 2012 by Nippon Ichi. There was also a 2015 PC port published by Ghostlight via Steam. Katana Kami: A Way of the Samurai Story, released for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam on February 20, 2020. A Spinoff from the main series made by Spike Chunsoft, that works more like a dungeon-crawling Roguelike unlike any title prior.There was also a Gaiden Game released for the PS2 in 2005, Samurai Western, which was a more action-centered game that amounted to Way of the Samurai IN THE WILD WEST!Each game follows the same basic plot: a wandering ronin arrives in a village that is in the middle of a vicious conflict between various factions. The ronin may choose to align with any of the factions, play them against each other for their own ends, try to help the villagers caught in the middle, or simply go about their days without taking sides. Depending on your actions, the plotline branches and changes accordingly, and there are plenty of endings to be found, ranging from taking a position of power to leaving the village in ruins to having your journey cut short.As the name implies, the games revolve heavily around fighting (though each game offers at least one route you can perform a Pacifist Run on), mainly with swords (though other weapons, mostly spears, are available in the later games... and were treated like 'side stance swords' in WotS2). Each game boasts a wide selection of weapons; however, the player only begins with a single sword to their name, and can only carry a limited amount of weapons with them. Weapons can usually be stored though an in-town service or completing a playthrough, and can be selected as your starting weapon during your next game.Way of the Samurai also allows a certain amount of Character Customization, mostly in the vein of Virtual Paper Doll: you have a variety of heads, bodies, and accessories to choose from.Unrelated to Samurai: Way of the Warrior.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_10b6b5f7	type	Cherry Tapping
Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_10b6b5f7	comment	The Dual Sword Stance, owing by the virtue of it not tied to any sword, meaning you can pick any random two swords (or two sticks/leeks) and it will be powerful. Also the existence of at least two guard-breaker moves and a single counterattack makes it very awesome and very practical.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_12a22bd8	type	Katanas Are Just Better
Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_12a22bd8	comment	Katanas Are Just Better: Despite immediate cries of the obvious, the trope is played straight and inverted in several ways. It is played straight in the sense that the rare, non-katana weapons that have cropped up, i.e. spears, claws (Yasuno's Kobyoso in the second game), and if you really want to be pedantic, ninja swords (some of them, seeing that most ninja swords are made of undiluted awesome), are not much better than regular katanas. Inverted with the ninja sword examples and the rare Western straight swords that come up every so often, such as the second game's Excalibur/Niitakayama, and one of the Continuity Cameo swords, Binetsu, which is a single-handed fleuret. The DLC Weapons package in the third game also brings the Plush Set parts, which can be made into a European-style sword that can be wielded any way possible, and loaded with moves from a katana style swordfighting. Lampshaded by the Samurai Sword in the third game, apparently an American imitation of a katana that somehow is still better than the average ones. Wooden Katanas Are Even Better: Excepting the Bokuto in the second game, any Wooden Katanas are expected to be badasses in their own right, particularly when upgraded. Barring the third game's Blunt mode, every single wooden katanas can kill just as well as their sharper brethren. Dual-wielding Wooden Katanas in the third game is not only possible, but so much made of awesome due to Dual Sword Stance's inherently awesome and useful moveset. It is essentially double dose of undiluted awesome and badass.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_164583e3	type	Purely Aesthetic Gender
Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_164583e3	comment	Purely Aesthetic Gender: The ability to use a female character is always an unlocked option (except in the Japan-only Way Of The Samurai 3 Plus, where one is usable by default). One of the extreme examples where female characters are still "he", able to stay at brothels (with only women staff) and flirt with various girls. Indeed, the only change beyond visuals is a change of grunts and a single NPC addressing the PC as "young lady" (the sword informant, who you can still ask on a date). The most hilarious of course, is if the PC goes to the bathhouse. Even if the PC is a she, she goes to the men's bath, and the bath owner will tell you off if you try to go to the gender appropriate section. May or may not be averted in the same game. Level enough good reputation amongst Aoto gang members, and one of the lowlies actually start hitting on you, and you can respond to his affections (although you can't really do anything with it). The poor sod actually asks to go to an inn with you. The question is whether this is meant to be a Gay Option or a response for female PCs. Most dialogues in four refer to you in gender-neutral terms in Japanese. However, Melinda and the Narrator will still refer to you as a man.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_17b72e30	comment	The third game really becomes an exercise of Continuity Porn where the choice of heads include Kenji and Mifune (default male protagonist of the second game), with matching outfits to boot. Your trainer in the first game is now a legitimate NPC in the game, affectionately called Sensei. Lastly, a plot-important NPC in the second game, Kasumi, is now a recruitable NPC in-game, with a heavy dose of lampshading.

The 3rd game by itself has twenty-one seperate listed endings (though to be fair, most of them are just variations on a theme) and a secret one for killing every permanent NPC in the game in one run, which is harder than it sounds considering what triggers over half of the endings.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_2512a9d2	comment	Ability Depletion Penalty: In the first three games, each of the player's swords has its own heat meter that increases when the player uses attacks or blocks enemy attacks and decreases when the player avoids using the sword. If the heat meter fills up, one segment of it will be removed, limiting the amount of attacks that can be done or blocked in quick succession. If all segments are removed, the sword will break, leaving the player with what effectively amounts to a blunt knife. Enemy weapons also have their own invisible heat meters, so a player can trick them into breaking their own weapons.

Don't ask. The third game gives you what is essentially a cyber-samurai outfit, complete with Tron Lines. The DLC weapon also included matching parts to build a cyber-samurai themed sword. One of the possible reasons why Way Of The Samurai 3+ never got an English release is due to your ability to dress up your companions well beyond stretching the constraint of disbelief.

Non-Lethal K.O.: Required for two different kinds of 100% Completion in the third game: One title requires 30 of these (another requires all of the other ones), and one of the Samurai Point bonuses allows you to use the model of any NPC you've Knocked Out as opposed to killed.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: The "Battotsu" skill found in side-stance swords in the second game. Sure, it is the single most damaging move at 350 attack power, but on unupgraded swords, it takes 3.5 bars out of the maximum of 5 bars of heat. This means that, improperly used, the sword can only survive a maximum of 6 continuous uses before it completely breaks and is irreparable. On a more general note, some very awesome-looking swords are this trope. The Murasame's (from the second game) tendency to have negative values for defense makes it very impractical to use unupgraded. Then again, unless you know what you are doing, most unupgraded swords are this. The lack of unblockable/guard breaker moves and counterattacks on the third game's Dual Ninja Sword Stance is firmly in this territory.

Of course, he also doesn't mind tying up the innocent Suzu to some cows so that they'll tear her in half for no good reason but his own sick kicks. Kyojiro in the second game is a pure Blood Knight, fighting with a serrated blade to inflict as much agony as possible and trailing the player if they catch her interest.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_33bcd2af	comment	Shoplift and Die: Try stiffing the blacksmith (or outright attack him when he's walking around at night), and he'll attack you directly; other shopkeepers may either attack or call for help. The third game has a different take on it. The four major merchants in the game (barring the combat-capable Blacksmiths) have bodyguards with them. Which is a shame, since killing them after concluding a transaction means you get to rob your money back. Averted in the fourth game. Stiffing them will cause them to call the Constables which will attempt to arrest you. Establishment merchants (restaurants, mostly) have bodyguards. The blacksmith will still try to kill you himself, however.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_33ca811a	comment	Game-Breaking Bug: The third game, in the US version at least, hangs upon entering the Records section if a forged weapon still in your possession is your most-used weapon. Irritating when you forge weapons that put the special ones to shame and need to check what you need for 100% Completion. Infuriating when you've forgotten which titles you need for that Last Lousy Achievement.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: In the third iteration, you can just spam the block button until the mooks attack you, opening the way for the One-Hit Kill chain. Just remember to press the right button to kill your opponent. A good deal of appraisal titles don't seem to do anything except reduce heat from your moves. If your sword is of the "high-power, high-heat" variety, though, it is massively practical. The fourth game includes "Perks" that are tied to fighting styles. These range from eating or drinking faster, reduced vitality depletion, or even reduction in damage taken, both general damage and specific anti-style perk. These are all really boring, and incredibly useful when used together in a custom stance.

Probably justified in the fact that the impacts you have normally with a train involve getting smashed on the side. This involves having dozens of tons of very heavy steel travelling potentially a couple hundred miles an hour running over you, which is far less survivable.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6	comment	Magikarp Power: The impossibly hard to get Reikon-kudaki from the second game is a wooden sword. Although it comes with a nice defensive power, it also has a massive -130 attack or less. If you know what you are doing (with a good deal of Save Scumming), you can make it into a wooden sword with attacks well into the triple-digits, while keeping its originally high defense. Any sword in the fourth game, given enough upgrades, can be this, since there is no limit on upgrading other than the hard Strength cap of 500. All you need is some metals to keep the thing going. Guns in the fourth game are very powerful. But their tendency to break after every 10 shots or so makes them terribly impractical, especially in addition to their Double Unlock properties. That is, unless you're patient enough (and have enough money) to repair them every time it breaks. If you repair a whopping 200,000 points of Durability for perspective, an average sword has around 500 Durability points, then the gun can be Appraised one-time unique upgrade by attaching a title to it to make it literally unbreakable. Sure, every other sword can benefit from that title as well, but an Unbreakable-appraised gun is an extremely powerful weapon in your inventory.

Narrowly averted in 4's Golden Ending. Your character seemingly dies in battle with Kinugawa, when the black ship explodes, and the narration implies that he's considered a national hero even though nobody knows his name... but a scene afterwards shows that he survived, and Laura running to embrace him.

Dona Dona returns in Way of the Samurai 3... only this time it's DONNA Donatelous, Donald's ancestor (since W.O.T.S. 3 is set far before the original). She's a fairly good partner and carries a pretty nice unique sword, but if you let her move in with you she'll randomly steal swords from your safe if you leave her there alone for long periods of time.

While the biggest drawback is your inability to block and low damage moves, since all of your attacks are of "melee" type, all of your attacks are also unblockable. In the true spirit of the trope, one moveset is a difficult-to-execute counterattack that seemingly does no damage, but in reality does a Barehanded Blade Block that generates about three bars (out of a maximum of five) of heat to the enemy's sword. Exploit the AI's eagerness to rapidly retaliate and you can break an enemy's sword in four or less counterattacks, greatly evening out the odds. Of course, fights are still going to be long, drawn-out affairs, but hey.

The problem is, the upgrades have only a small chance of both attack and defense benefiting from the upgrade (as opposed to attack up, defense down, and vice-versa) not including the ever-present danger of Dojima breaking your sword. Thankfully, the game includes a soft reset button combination. The soft reset is removed from the fourth game's US/EU versions, but its use has decreased other than getting back to an earlier plot point if you messed up instead of upgrading blues.

The second game gives you seven to nine days in Amahara to do as you please (some plot branches allow you to extend your stay). 2 also gives you more time periods: Early Morning, Morning, Afternoon, Evening, and Late Night. The third game subverts it, as none of the main storyline events are dependent on time outside of time of day. The fourth game has a unique take as the time of day does not move at all even when doing jobs aside from sleeping or participating in Story Events. See Take Your Time entry above.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_872b9e12	comment	Chained to a Railway: In the first game, this could happen to you if you ask Tsubohachi to "Join him" when he knocks Suzu unconscious and starts carrying her off. Tsubohachi is so disgusted that he and his goons tie you to the local train tracks. Luckily, Kitcho and Chelsea (who are opposed to Tsubohachi's boss) happen to be nearby and let you loose. Yet Another Stupid Death: If/when you find yourself tied to the train tracks, you can repeatedly refuse your would-be-rescuer's offers to untie you; eventually they'll leave... and leave you tied to the train tracks — cue Game Over... — which is also a minor example of Gameplay and Story Segregation, as being hit by the train at any other point in the game will do damage, but will not be instantly fatal. Probably justified in the fact that the impacts you have normally with a train involve getting smashed on the side. This involves having dozens of tons of very heavy steel travelling potentially a couple hundred miles an hour running over you, which is far less survivable. In the fourth game, if you lose the first skirmish with the Prajna members at the harbor and then choose to beg for your life, they'll be so disgusted that they'll chain you to the carriage tracks in Little Britain. It's possible for Dojima to rescue you, but only if a) he isn't the blacksmith and b) you're willing to give up the weapons you currently have with you. A small mercy this time is that if you aren't rescued, you're only run over by a horse and carriage, instead of by a train (it still kills you, though).

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb	type	Difficult, but Awesome
Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb	comment	Difficult, but Awesome: When it was first introduced in WoTS2, Fencing Stance (later Draw Stance in 3) swords are basically this. They have very few combo moves, accumulate heat faster by design which necessitates exploiting enemy openings, and since they sheath the sword after every move, opens up for a counter attack from the enemy. However, most of the moves are also lightning fast, very high damage, and more often than not, most swords have a very nasty unblockable attacks. The Zannkimaru, wielded by the second game's Big Bad (and reappears in 3), is an iaijutsu zanbato, giving it a large range advantage. Bare-handed style is this. While the biggest drawback is your inability to block and low damage moves, since all of your attacks are of "melee" type, all of your attacks are also unblockable. In the true spirit of the trope, one moveset is a difficult-to-execute counterattack that seemingly does no damage, but in reality does a Barehanded Blade Block that generates about three bars (out of a maximum of five) of heat to the enemy's sword. Exploit the AI's eagerness to rapidly retaliate and you can break an enemy's sword in four or less counterattacks, greatly evening out the odds. Of course, fights are still going to be long, drawn-out affairs, but hey.

Although getting the pistol and pistol style is easy enough (the same NPC drops it and his is the only pistol style (making it the default one), and you can fight him in the majority of the routes), getting the rifle style is a bit more involved because the NPC can only be fought in a certain route, in a certain day. He also does drop the unique rifle, but more often than not, you need to spend at least two playthroughs just getting them separately. This is also on top of how difficult it is to actually use the weapon on a regular basis; see Magikarp Power entry above.

While they looked like your average yakuza, a good half of them genuinely believes in the restoration of the destroyed Sakurai Clan and really are an honorable bunch of people. Unfortunately, their leader, Genjuro, and the other half of Ouka Clan are really just in it for themselves and the booze. Due to Patriots vs. Foreigner storyline emphasis on the fourth game, the Yakuza in this game does what they do best: running gambling dens and contracting assassinations, when not involved in gang warfare. Although they are not involved with the main storyline, they in fact make up a subplot regarding Four Samurai Lords and Yakuza Quartet, collectively known as Amihama Eight. The entire Amihama Eight subquest is a whole storyline unto itself, culminating into an all out war against invaders attacking Amihama itself.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_de70f5a4	type	Continuity Cameo
Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_de70f5a4	comment	Continuity Cameo: A secret code that can be entered in Way of The Samurai 2 allows you to play as any NPC in the game. All of them are fully rendered and fully voiced, including NPC sprites for your trainer in the first game, Kenji (your old protagonist model), Dona Dona, and Suzu. The third game really becomes an exercise of Continuity Porn where the choice of heads include Kenji and Mifune (default male protagonist of the second game), with matching outfits to boot. Your trainer in the first game is now a legitimate NPC in the game, affectionately called Sensei. Lastly, a plot-important NPC in the second game, Kasumi, is now a recruitable NPC in-game, with a heavy dose of lampshading. And of course, every game has a blacksmith called Dojima. The third game has two of them. The fourth game even has an entire subquest for him. The fourth game marks the triumphal return of Sensei. Not only does she have her own subquest (and Trophy!), you can even Night Crawl her. More than characters, weapons have cameoed in nearly every subsequent game. From the first game: Binetsu (Chelsea's), Ippatsumaru (Tsubohachi's), Dai-Kuronama (Tesshin's), Samehada-tou (later Samehadamaru, Karibe's), and Zangetsu (Hyuga's). From the second game, Oborozukiyo (Mutou's), Zannkimaru (Hanzaemon's), Biteikotsu (Kyojiro's), and Kansei (Kasumi's). Even your starting weapon in the first game, Mediocre Sword, survived as Chuyo-Tou in 2, and Moderate Blade in 3, although with nerfed moveset.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_e0606d52	comment	Optional Boss: A random foreigner in the 2nd game with Excalibur can be fought if you visit the sword informant with a very high relationship with the townspeople and is tougher than any foe on the current difficulty. Sousuke Nakamura in the same game is never fought in any ending, but can be attacked in the magistrate headquarters for a decent fight. Completing enough quests for either the Aoto Gang or Magistrates gives you a quest to kill the opposite broker, who has high health and a unique sword. Defeat the inevitable assassin out to get you afterwards, and you discover that your own job broker hired for the assassin. Naturally, you have the choice to fight him as well.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_e1645c04	comment	Set a Mook to Kill a Mook: Oh so very much. Part of the fun is to kick a person from one faction, have them running with their sword drawn in view to an armed person of another faction (or otherwise neutral), get that other person to intercede, and watch the chaos unfold from afar. Not only it is tremendously fun (what was a duel can devolve into a free-for-all), it is also a good choice to avoid unnecessary combat. The fourth game has less of this however; most NPC combatants are more than happy to draw their sword...and promptly sheath it again. If there is any "Duelist" NPC around though, expect a brawl. Not to mention if any of your previous player characters are on the same map.

A fight broker in the second game, named Kotsubo, is basically a Mini-Me of the first game's Tsubohachi (lampshaded by the Meaningful Name, which means "Little Tsubo"). Also, the previous major character, Tesshin, is now Tessho, the Dojo Master. Aside from the name change, nothing about them is different, even down to his iconic sword, the Dai-Kuronama.

All three are Ninja, and the latter two, when encountered at night, imply that the player is supposed to be one as well and needs to be killed because s/he isn't acting as ordered. Shinnosuke in the third game is a heroic mole, and it's possible for the player to join him in this role. Akemi in the fourth game. It is possible to uncover the deception and actually rescue your mates before the trap is sprung.

Barring the third game's Blunt mode, every single wooden katanas can kill just as well as their sharper brethren. Dual-wielding Wooden Katanas in the third game is not only possible, but so much made of awesome due to Dual Sword Stance's inherently awesome and useful moveset. It is essentially double dose of undiluted awesome and badass.

Way of the Samurai (Video Game) / int_ea480f92	comment	Simple, yet Awesome: Some obtainable swords are very user-friendly. Think Kubirabasara, the first dual-wield sword you see (being wielded by Danpachi). The above mentioned high heat attacks (and styles that suffer from it in general) get fixed rather well if you apply the "god" title to the sword in question, which halves heat consumption. The Dual Sword Stance, owing by the virtue of it not tied to any sword, meaning you can pick any random two swords (or two sticks/leeks) and it will be powerful. Also the existence of at least two guard-breaker moves and a single counterattack makes it very awesome and very practical.

Princess Sakurai Shizuru of the third game is forced underground after her entire clan went under and her father, the head of the Sakurai clan, was defeated. She now goes under the name of Osei.

Do enough jobs for any factions in the game, and members of said faction will practically bend over backwards for you, if not outright hero-worshipping you (and heavy flirting from the girls). The third game also has this if you decide to depose Genjuro, then they literally bow to you wherever you go, doubly so if you have earned their respect beforehand. Similar occasion when you decide to take control of Aoto Gang in the second game with the blessing of every member.
