Genji: Days of the Blade is an action‑packed hack and slash game for PlayStation 3, continuing the story of Yoshitune Minamoto and Benkei Musashibo as they battle a new, mysterious evil threatening Japan. Players can switch in real‑time between four distinct warriors, each with unique weapons and abilities, and unleash the powerful Kamui attacks to decimate foes.
