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.
