Samurai Western: Katsugeki Samurai-dou

A Samurai named Gojiro Kiryuu travels to the American West with the hopes of finding his brother. His travels lead him to a shady land baron by the name of Goldberg who runs the corrupt town he finds himself. Despite the fact that Gojiro isn’t interested in making things right, he eventually finds himself embroiled in the issues that plague the town, such as stopping highway thieves, defending a woman from would-be rapists, and foiling Goldberg’s plots. Because Goldberg is intent on destroying Gojiro, he lets out an infinite stream of minions, all of which become fodder for Gojiro’s blade. Goldberg, however, has one more card up his sleeve…
Samurai Western is an action game played from the third-person perspective. Gojiro’s blade is more than capable of competing with the firearms and armament of the Old West, and he is able to deflect or sidestep bullets with ease. As Gojiro advances through the game’s levels, he is able to improve his skills, gain access to other swords and stances, and expand his outfit to include Western accouterments. Samurai Western is mostly a game for one person, but there is also a mode for two players to work together with characters that can be unlocked for either mode.
