Shuzen Fujimori, you are the root of all evil, bastard!!! I love this game, it is a very short game in story wise, but the ideia here is that you have a lot of different endings and many side quest you can discover, I love this game and it has a special space in my heart, I played this game a lot ind Xbox 360 also and when steam launched here I had to buy it, love it. If you are into samurai games buy it without thinking.

I've played hundreds of hours of this game on PS3 and I still think about it all the time. Rough around the edges but bursting with charm, just like Dominions 6, WotS3 is a perfect example of how smaller studios can produce unique experiences compared to the blandness and predatory capitalism of AAA.

¶ I’ve just finished my first playthrough. Wow! This game is real hidden gem! It exceeded all my expectations. A real flashback to 2000's when games had soul and their own distinct charm. As a fan of the Gothic series, I found some similarities between the two: a small but carefully crafted world, different factions and paths to choose from, NPCs schedules and the feeling that you truly live in this world and that your choices matter. You believe in the story, the characters, and their motivations - especially when story set in harsh times of Sengoku jidai. ¶ The combat system is impressively deep and fun: stances, parrying, pushes, and jumps; you can even throw weapons at your opponents :D. There’s a lot of room for creativity. Character progression is decent, though it can feel a bit grindy at times. I really enjoyed the mini-games (cutting tuna, vegetables, making mochi, etc.) and the jobs from brokers - sometimes you actually have to think about how to complete certain quests. The game can also be quite goofy at times, it lifted my mood with certain situations and characters, even though I’m not usually a fan of that kind of humor in games. Most importantly, the game knows how to amuse you. You can even play as any in-game NPC, that's crazy. I simply love it. ¶ With that being said, I now consider myself a fan of the series and am eager to get all possible endings, max out my favorite weapons and try Way of the Samurai 4. I also believe both old and new fans would love to see the first two entries of the series released on PC someday, along with remakes of 3 and 4. I really hope so.

Very fun hack and slash. It is a short game meant to be replayed for the 21+ multiple endings.
