For anyone who has played the Way of the Samuari games

Is it similar in any way?

[mintiumheart]

id say its a bit like them yeah. just not as much alternate path things as WotS

It definitely makes me nostalgic for WotS4 when I play it and it has some things that feel straight ripped from WotS4 mechanically (in a good way) but I wouldn't say it's the same kind of game. It is very much Team Ninja's Nioh but Assassin's Creed (maybe with a taste of Sekiro if you want to say as much).

It has some similarities (particularly to WotS4 for obvious reasons) but is definitely not the same kind of game.

Not really. You have way more freedom in your moveset in WoTS. And just as hilarious the story in WoTS is, I prefer that story much more than this one where they bombard you with stupid choices that never matters.

This game also has a lot of stupid inaccessible moves the player can never do. Which WoTS doesn't have. So I'd say that's a huge plus to WoTS as well. But the combat is fundamentally different though.

- It had the same timeline as WotS 4
- Customization and cosmetic are quite the same but more expanded in RotR, mix and match clothing, different weapon skin but no create your weapon type
- Choices in story don't really matters and there's no perfect ending, basically it's historical fiction retelling of the last day of shogunate (bakumatsu period) leading to meiji restoration (boshin war) without reaching the republic of ezo part.
- Combat style is fixed per style and no create a style
- Combat is their main selling point and it's fundamentally different from WotS
- Open world is like AC but more lenient in term of collectibles
- Dojo is the place you train and git gud and certainly not the place where you put your female pupils to learn swordfighting

It scratch the itch of WotS in term of open world exploration and customization and also i grab this to scratch some itch of longing for another WotS

Not at all. Wish it was.

Thanks for the replies and insight. Doesn't sound quite like what I am looking for (it appears nothing is...) but sounds like it's worth tossing on my wish-list for the next sale.
