Another game that was made for the TigSource Video Game Name Generator Competition (there seem to be some good games in the competition). This one reminds me of the classic arcade game "Westbank", but it is settled in the far east instead of the wild west.
You have to attack the evil opponents with your blade. But be careful: You will lose honor if you attack a harmless maiden instead or kill an opponent that surrendered to you. And if there is no honor left you'll have to kill yourself...
The game concept isn't too original, but "Samurai Railroad Mansion" has amazing art and a great soundtrack to offer. And these things make the game highly playable.
Yes there is a railroad (but mainly because there has to be one, because of the name the generator created). And you better don't attack the trains that use it. You will loose honour otherwise...
The best thing you can do is always kill the first enemy at sight. This way you won't get the Bushido bonus, but you will get a few points and you minimize the risk of being killed. That way you should be able to get better scores...
Stage7 is HARD indeed! All those ghosts look quite similar and most times I hit the wrong ones. Haven't managed to complete this level by now. But I think it's the last one and after that the game starts again at level 1, but with a higher speed of the opponents.
Must try it.
