About this game

First Samurai is a platform action game with a medieval oriental setting. After the Demon King defeats his master and escapes into the future, the young samurai studies magic under the Wizard Mage before beginning his pursuit.

Players start with fists and kicks, later acquiring a magical sword and throwing weapons such as knives and axes. Combat focuses on melee attacks, including directional sword strikes, while the journey also features special items, other objects, regenerating monsters, and plentiful food for health.
