A game as ancient as feudal Japan itself.

Sword of the Samurai, a 1980s classic mix of strategy and action, where you set out to conquer the feudal Japan, is available for Windows and Mac OS X on GOG.com, for only $5.99.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/sword_of_the_samurai][/url]In Sword of the Samurai, you will be part of the culture of feudal Japan, and you must learn to live by its rules. To succeed as a samurai, you must think like the samurai. Learn when to leave your sword in its sheath, when to draw it - and what to do with it once it’s drawn. You will fight duels, lead troops on the battlefield, and defend your family against assassins and kidnappers. If you are courageous and honorable, you may advance to become the head of your clan, and warlord of your province. If you master diplomacy and generalship, and outmaneuver your rivals, you may even become Shogun - absolute ruler of Japan. But remember that in all cultures power corrupts - and those who seek absolute power don’t always play by the rules.

There's always room for another MicroProse classic in your collection, so why don't you treat yourself to a nice digital copy of Sword of the Samurai, for only $5.99 on GOG.com!

I think he already did a review and a giveaway to promote this game.

Sword of the Samurai was pretty good...but the Koei games were better IMHO, Genghis Khan 2 especially...still the finest strategy game ever made. GOG needs the Koei games!

おもしろいゲームです。

If this happens to be in some nice promo before regional pricing comes to older games, I will buy it.


Now this may be a little difficult to get, but if you somehow can get Usagi Yojimbo here, I will totally instabuy it.

Never heared about this one, but looks interesting. How's the difficulty and combat parts?

And waiting to see Transport Tycoon and F-15 Strike Eagle II here in the future

At first I thought of Way of the Samurai, but that's a PS2 only gem :)

I will cry the day a lot of console only classic titles come to PC, and probably instabuy every last one (when and if)

You will be mine, game. In time.

But seriously, this is good stuff. More 80s releases, please. Where are the rest of Infocom?
Posted March 06, 2014
amazing what could be done with 16MB..

This looks way too old for me. But I'm glad people are happy it's being realeased :)
Reminds me of Shogun Total War - great game, I wish it was here too.
