Katana Kami: A Way of the Samurai Story Released on February 20, 2020, Katana Kami: A Way of the Samurai Story
- Pay the Minimum, Not the Maximum: Otoji demands a high sum, but you only need to pay the daily interest to avoid death. Save your big cash for blacksmith upgrades.
- Abandon Pride, Run Away: There is no shame in using the "Escape Rope" item. If your sword durability is red, get out.
- Fistfighting is Viable: Early on, you will break all your swords. Unarmed combat deals low damage but costs no durability. Learn to kick enemies into traps or off ledges.
- Always Buy Rice Balls: Healing items are scarce in the dungeon. Rice balls are cheap, stackable, and save lives.
- The Brothel is a Trap: Spending time or money at the brothel (the inciting incident) offers minor buffs but advances the clock significantly. Avoid it until you have stable cash flow.
- Procedurally generated floors with changing layouts, traps, and enemies (bandits, yokai, undead samurai).
- Permadeath for each run — if you die, you lose all non-essential items and swords.
- Day/night cycle affects enemy difficulty and rare drop rates.
