Samurai Spirits

The player can start the adventure as any of the six personages that are available (Haohmaru, Nakoruru, Genjuro Kibagami, Galford D. Weller, Ukyo Tachibana and Cham Cham). The main line of the argument does not diverge much depending on the player's choice; the differences will be more noticeable in the dialogues or the appearance of some character-focused scenes throughout the game.

The gameplay involves pressing button combinations to execute moves, similar to arcade fighting games. This adds a unique twist to the traditional RPG formula.
