Daisho・Survival of a Samurai

This is a stunningly beautiful game. It has a solid story line, and excellent gameplay. Very excited to see a samurai game in this genre. Unfortunately, this game is lacking in content, and the developers need to hustle and add more events, quests, and locations. It is very difficult to achieve the basic building quests, as storage is grossly inadequate and the exchange for earnings, too little. For those willing to invest in the game, there is not a whole lot offered to purchase. A few deals pop up in the beginning only. The Dojo and Arena features are great. But all players old and new are just thrown together. So it is impossible to earn equipment and hero fragments for anyone aside from the handful that have been playing from the beginning. Or willing to spend an insane amount of money and catch up. There needs to be power tiers. It seems that customer support does not actually exist. There have been game bugs I’ve come across, including not receiving earned rewards. I wrote to CS including screenshots- and It’s been weeks without a response, nonetheless compensation. Overall, this game is fun to play and has a lot of promise. The developers will need to fix the bugs and add more content, to keep players interested. I really hope to see this happen!

So far, I am really enjoying this game. It does not appear to be pay to play or pay to win, although I have purchased a few inexpensive packs to support the developers and to enhance gameplay. I’m not sure how long this game is been around, I do hope to see, continued in expansion and enhancements. Give it a try, I think you will enjoy.

Great graphics, and reasonably entertaining. Very poorly balanced though. * Item durability drops super fast. For about 10 enemies, the weapon is broken * The prices to sell loot are lower than the cost of the durability to procure them. Especially early in the game, you lose money by playing. * There is a very basic talent system but the talents do not feel meaningful. The benefit they add is miniscule * The way to upgrade your gear is by finding lower quality items and combining them into higher tier ones. Great system but the inventory space is so limited and so expensive to upgrade, that this is more frustrating than it needs to be * There is an energy system used for collecting raw materials - this one actually feels well balanced * There should be a way to collect the currency for upgrading storage through watching adds even if it's very limited. Overall, its a game which tries very hard to make you spend money by making most gameplay elements as frustrating to use as possible. Nothing wrong with the goal of making money, but I'd be more inclined to invest in a game I enjoy playing with added QoL improvements than one where all basic mechanics require constant spend.
