Overview
Description

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. The game blends fast‑paced combat, platforming challenges, and light RPG elements, letting you collect Amahagane and Mashogane to upgrade stats and weapons while exploring both historic locations and fantastical realms.

Ryuu ga Gotoku Kenzan! is an action‑adventure hack and slash game that follows the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi as he adopts a new identity and hunts an impostor in Edo‑period Japan. The single‑player story blends intense sword combat with political intrigue, sexual desire, and the gritty atmosphere of Kyoto's Gion district. Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega, the game launched exclusively for PlayStation 3 on March 6, 2008 (CERO D). Players experience a dramatic retelling of Musashi’s life, from the aftermath of Sekigahara to a deadly quest across Gion and Funajima.
