![]() The story itself is nothing that impressive: Rokkotsu Pass is a region under the control of the Kurou family, an impoverished noble samurai family that fall from grace once the shogunate ended and now the patriarch of the family wants to sell properties to the now Meiji governement in order to provide for his family, Kitcho his son from a previous relationship opposes this idea, believing that this decision would doom the samurai on the region and to avoid this he mustered forces in the form of the Akadama Clan to preserve the honor of the samurai in the location. ![]() It's natural to ask WHY I kept playing this game under these circunstances and the answer is this: It was (until then) one of the best swordfighting game I ever played, having a way to encourage the player not just to buttom mashing by learn how to parry, what style to use and how to grind techiniques for each blade you posessed that hooked me up really hard for it. Since I couldn't return the media, I decided to at least try it to see the game and it was a nightmare to understand all that "foreign gibberish" in a game where you are constantly bombarded with dialogue options that I couldn't make a sense off, so I naturally would put it off and play something else, right? No! My teens were about being a stubborn SOB so I kept trying to play and rebooted and played, hence and repeat finishing the game several times until 3 weeks later I managed to get an english copy of the game and FINALLY I managed to understand what that was the in-game story is about. When I booted the game I was doubled surprised: I - The game was not about the series and II - It was in Japanese. Back in the early 2000's I was hooked up with the Rurouni Kenshin (AKA "Samurai X") anime and wished to have the experience of playing a game of these series so I went to a shop buyed a "burned game" named Samurai X: The Way of the Samurai for PS2, heck it even featured Kenshin (the protagonist of the anime) on the cover.
