Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword is an action-adventure game for the Nintendo 3DS, focusing on precision swordplay over button mashing. Players assume the role of a samurai on a quest to rescue Princess Cherry Blossom, battling through beautifully crafted cherry-blossom landscapes filled with cunning enemies. Utilizing skills in predicting attacks and executing counterattacks, players navigate diverse environments and confront formidable bosses, while gaining assistance from local villagers.
Leave button mashing behind. Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword is about precision swordplay, battlefield finesse, and martial-arts style.
As the heroic title character, you’ll travel a world rife with cherry-blossom beauty—and deadly danger—to rescue the legendary Princess Cherry Blossom. Her kidnapper has set dozens of blade-wielding henchmen in your path, and you’ll have to exercise your best battle senses to defeat them and save her. Learn to predict your foes’ moves, deftly dodge their attacks, and create opportunities for devastating counterattacks.
Start with the Sakura Sword, a little health, and some basic training from your water-spirit guide. Make your way from battleground to battleground fighting wave after wave of increasingly cunning enemies. Fight through huge castles to duel epic bosses. And don’t forget to stop at small villages along the way to get help, gear, encouragement (and distraction) from the quirky townsfolk.
Prove that you truly are the Sakura Samurai!
