## What is SamuraiTaleRPG?

Period action RPG. Read the range, clash blades, and journey across Japan.

A period-drama × deep training RPG.
Become a lone ronin in early Edo Japan (Keicho–Kan’ei), travel the land, and hone your own way of the sword.
Your dojo was burned. Everything was taken. Your only clue: rumors of the “greatest swordsman under heaven.”
From the Tokaido to the Nakasendo, Oshu, Kyoto, the Seto Inland Sea, and Kyushu—travel the highways, meet rivals, schools, and people of each region.
【TRAVEL】
Explore a map of Japan—post towns, cities, villages, and historic sites.
Train at dojos, gear up at shops, take jobs, and sail between ports.
Wander freely, chase strong foes, and choose your own path.
【BATTLE】
Portrait-mode action combat. Read the range, attack and guard, then clash steel in tense blade locks.
Learn weapons and techniques on the road—katana, spear, staff, shuriken, and more—and expand how you fight.
【GROW & COLLECT】
Allocate training, switch jobs, collect famed weapons and armor, and fill your compendium.
Progress carries across reincarnations—a deep loop built for long play.
【STORY】
Rival duels, roadside rumors, village kindness, and eerie encounters—
a classic jidaigeki tone about a free life unbound by any master.
Like a drifting cloud—unbound, stand on your own feet.
Samurai Tale RPG. Your journey begins.
※ Free to play. Contains ads and optional in-app purchases.

### 5/5 — 本領発揮しつつあります

*2026-09-17*

転生26回目にしてようやく裏ボス2体撃破できました。
やり込み要素も増えてコツコツやるのが止まりません。

あと妖怪類が出現しなくなってしましました。

**Developer response:** ご連絡ありがとうございます！対応検討します。

### 3/5 — すごく楽しそう

*2026-09-15*

楽しそうだがいまいち操作が掴めず。私のセンスがないのか諦めました。できれば楽しそうなゲームです。

**Developer response:** 遊んでいただきありがとうございます。
シンプル操作モードを搭載したいと思います。

### 5/5 — 待ちに待った新作✨

*2026-09-13*

とりあえず転生1回だけさせていただきました。
序盤は、困ったら槍持っておけば大丈夫な感じかと思います！！

**Developer response:** 遊んでいただき、ありがとうございます。

### 5/5 — フロムライクアクションRPG？

*2026-08-29*

やりこみ系RPG作者の極北でいらっしゃるYamaho さんの新作。
今のところ転生４回目。徐々に敵が強くなってきた！
これからの発展が楽しみです。
始めたばかりの方にアドバイス。
・ゲーム始まったら江戸の道場で刀を鍛錬して習熟を100にしよう。ノーリスクで与ダメージ上がります。
・レベル上がったら剣術と体力を1ずつ上げよう。体力あげると防御も上がる。防御がある程度上がると敵からの被ダメージが1になる。そうなればまず負けない。
・銭は使おう。傷薬を買えるだけ買おう。戦闘中に使用できる。死ぬと金を割合で失うので使ってしまおう。
・できれば特殊な効果がある防具を使おう。敵がけっこう落としてくれる。ヒットポイントや気力が自動回復するヤツがあるとかなり強い。

**Developer response:** 遊んでいただきありがとうございます。
プレイ方法、参考にさせていただきます！

### 2/5 — 操作性が悪い

*2026-08-25*

- 仮想キーやボタンが下すぎて、タスク切り替えになる。
- 鍔迫り合いのA連打の意味がわからない。
- キーを拾いすぎているのか、鍔迫り合いの連打が発動したりしなかったり。

とにかく操作性が酷い

**Developer response:** ご報告ありがとうございます、対応検討します。
