Take advantage of war to make money! New information related to the game system of the swordsmanship action RPG "Samurai Road Gaiden KATANAKAMI" has been released!

Spike Chunsoft has released new information on "Samurai Road Gaiden: Katanakami" (developed by Acquire), scheduled for release on PS4, Switch, and Steam on February 20, 2020 (Thursday).

In this Japanese-style sword fighting action RPG, the protagonist tries to save his daughter from being taken away to cover his debts while living a life cycle of collecting swords and other materials in a monster-infested dungeon at night and earning money as a blacksmith during the day. The structure of the dungeon changes each time you enter it, so you can try it over and over again with a fresh mind.

What was revealed this time is the basic flow of debt repayment. The main character sells swords to three forces that are fighting for power: the "Shukubamachi," the "Akadama Party," and the "Kurosei Family. When the player sends swords to certain forces in priority or performs street fighting, a difference in military power is created between the forces, and the "tension level" is increased. If the tension level increases, conflicts are more likely to occur, and if a battle occurs, orders for swords will increase, making intervention in the situation an important element of the business.

New Information

■Basic Cycle to Repay Debt

The player runs a sword smith shop on behalf of "Gunji Dojima," who is heavily in debt, and sells swords to the three forces that are fighting for power in the Rokkotoge: Shukuba-machi, the Akadama Party, and the Kurosei Family. Even if swords are in short supply, they can be produced by consuming materials collected in the other world from the "furnace. You can also change the policy of the swords that Gunji automatically produces from the "furnace". The customer is to ship the ordered sword, receive the reward, and prepare the specified amount of money by the due date to repay the order. If they fail to prepare the money, a sincere apology is effective. Unintentional behavior will, on the contrary, increase the amount of repayment.

■The heart of blacksmith management! A system in which blacksmiths make money when war breaks out.

The orders that arrive in the "ledger" change according to the situation of each force. If the "satisfaction level," which expresses the evaluation of the blacksmith, and the "tension level," which expresses the tension toward the hostile force, are increased, orders with better rewards will arrive. The higher the tension level, the faster it rises, and the higher the tension level, the higher the "state of war. The more the tension level increases, the faster the order of swords will increase, and the inspection will be more lenient. The key to opening the power gap between forces is to control the situation and start a war by shipping swords only to specific forces, or by reducing the number of forces by making street killings, etc. The situation can be checked from the newspaper on the bulletin board next to the blacksmith shop.



This is a chance to get rich quick! New and Improved" mode

As you continue to ship swords to the forces and increase your military power, you will reach the "military power target" that each force has set. After that, the blacksmith shop will enter the "Ten Thousand Customers" mode, where a large number of customers will flood into the blacksmith shop. The amount of money increases every time a customer enters the store, and debt collectors will stop coming to the blacksmith shop during the "ten-thousand customers" period.
