Ancient chanbara title set in feudal Japan with lovely period setting cut scenes adding to the atmosphere. Includes a few mini games to boost your stats such as gambling away on the dice. Plenty of weapons to choose from; some looking more at home in the garden shed, but adding to the variety nevertheless. Battles are jammed with speed lines and the fleeting effect screen when the fatal blow is struck does justice to the samurai's honour � even in death.
Known for its Fuun series, Genki uses the Fuun engine to bring to you an action game full of the chivalrous spirit. The main character, Renji, was originally a "furaibo" roaming all over the country, who happened to save two strangers due to his chivalrous spirit. His reputation for punishing the evil spreads in the "Shukuba Machi" which results in many townsfolk approaching him with their problems. Besides trying to be the victor in conflicts, the player also has to balance justice and relationships, with the "chivalry" rating rated by the townsfolk determining you can become the "Daioyabun" (big boss) in the end.小さな一家を取仕切る若い一人の風来坊。侠っぷりが人を呼び、「清水の次郎長」「丹下左膳」と盃交わし子分増やして街道一の大親分を目指せ!他人のシマを土足で荒らす蝮田一家を蹴散らして背中に染めた「絵染め」を見せれば、馬鹿なケンカも一件落着。全80種類の洒落ものを着こなして、粋でイナセな侠伊達になるもよし!笑いあり涙ありの、痛快侠気アクションここにあり!!
