Set in 1579, the game casts you as Yasuke, an African samurai who arrives in Japan alongside a Jesuit missionary and becomes involved in Oda Nobunaga’s effort to unite the country.
Fight enemy forces with katana combat and firearms, using special attacks described as drawing on Yasuke’s ancestral power. The action plays out across a series of chapters and encounters.
Explore levels to find secret gear and take on varied traversal challenges. The setting mixes feudal-Japan imagery with deliberately anachronistic elements such as bicycles, cars, and modern weapons.
