As the game is all set to release on December 12, 2024, we are here with a quick guide on what to expect and how to proceed with the gameplay, based on our derivations from the demo play.
Game Setting and Characters
Set amidst feudal Japan, the game picks elements from Japanese Folklore. As you venture through the world of Japan, you fight Oni, his army of Tengu, undead, and the horrifying Jorogumo, an element from Japanese Folklore known for its ability to shapeshift.
You fight all these evils as Takeshi, a Japanese Samurai who needs to save the village from the wrath of Oni. In the game, you do not only get to play as Takeshi but as Kodama, a courageous tree spirit, and Chisai, the warrior cat.
The Spirits of the Samurai: Gameplay Tips and Tricks
Using Different Strategy
You get to control, i.e., Takeshi, a Japanese Samurai, Kodama, a tree spirit and Chisai, the fighter cat. You need to use a different strategy for each of these characters as they come with unique gameplay mechanics.
The Sword Fight
Takeshi seems to be a seasoned warrior, a pro in sword fighting and archery. His attacks can be performed using the right controller stick that comes in handy as you get attacked from all fronts causing some damage. However, using the weapons strategically with a great deal of stamina can assist you to emerge victorious in combat.
The Brownie Points
As you incur damage while fighting the evils, the game offers ways to regain your abilities. As the game progresses, it has shrines where offering incense can help you get potions that will increase your abilities to fight the Oni with much greater power.
The Personalized Touch
As you level up in the The Spirits of the Samurai, you get to earn moves that can be customized to make your unique combos. These unique combos can be effectively used to attack the foes based on their weakness. However, make sure that these attacking combos do not incur a lot of damage on you as that can make you vulnerable to the enemies.
Friends come to Aid
As you progress in the game, Chisai comes to your rescue. Fighting alone can be exhausting and that is when Chisai, the warrior cat comes in to distract the enemies. Similarly, we have Kodama, the tree spirit that helps you cast magic and hit enemies from a distance. But, remember, this is your fight and they won’t always be around. So, strategic gameplay is the only way that can help you win the game.
