Short description
“Die by the Blade” is a fighting game set in alternative-futuristic Japan. Advanced modern technology meets medieval Japanese weapons in so called “samurai-punk” world where the main conflict is the clash between feudal rulers and rebellion gangs. The main hero of the game is wandering samurai named Yoshi. He lives his life by helping the locals with problems they are facing, whether it’s bandits or other menial tasks. Yoshi has a pure heart and his motivations and honour are important to him. He is a quiet type and does not like causing commotions, but his sense of honour is acute and liable to draw him into conflicts since despite his desire to not get involved, he is still a man of honour at heart.
