Now, we’re left with the Ouka clan, who are essentially ex-Sakurai warriors, or vassals, who wish to overthrow Fujimori and get back the land. There are two other clans within the game, there used to be the Sakurai clan, but since being overthrown, that dissolved into nothing.

Take a break from the games story…and kill everyone. Those dates are all PS2 dates, except Way of The Samurai 3 which was on PS3. Thanks to Ghostlight, the game has been brought back in 2016 for PC.

The second game came out in 2004, followed by Way of the Samurai 3 in 2009. Way of the Samurai 3 is the third part to a four part series of which, the adventure began back in 2002 when Acquire developed the first game, titled, “Way of the Samuari” and was set in Japan in the 19th Century. Way of the Samurai 3 is a surprisingly big game, with a ton of options to build your Samurai’s personality among the in-game AI.
