About this game

Daisho: Survival of a Samurai is an Action RPG with casual survival game mechanics and big village-building possibilities. You'll experience a new type of survival game with quests, continuous open world progression, monthly events and your dumb ways to die not harming your fun level.

🏹 Survival Games, casualized

Chop every tree, hunt rabbits and deer, stone and copper mining - resource management are a staple of every survival game, and Daisho is no different. However, we threw away the hunger games in favor of a replenishing stamina pool so you can start every game session on exploration instead of just preventing yourself from dying.

🏛️ Build your own Japanese village estate

From setting up your first camp to building an entire Japanese village, you'll be pretty busy making a home for yourself and all the rescued souls that turn up to settle as workers. Manage their resource refining jobs, build houses and beautify the city with fountains and other decor.

⚔️ Carry a big stick (mind the pointy end)

Craft your weaponry from a selection of clubs, katanas, bows, spears and more. Upgrade them to make pointy ends even more pointy, embellish your craft with gems and their attributes, and poke around at the Shogun armies, bandit bosses and other generally unfriendly folk.

🗺️ Explore Japan and its dungeons

Dive into dark medieval history and unravel the story of Oda Nobunaga, known as the great Japanese unifier; lead the siege to the stronghold of Kyoto, or rebuild the ancient estates and temples around Mount Fuji. Learning about history has never been more fun!

Ratings and reviews

So close to being a fun free to play game, but it truly Is expertly crafted to be annoying but never "just enough" to uninstall. You deal with the lack of inventory, you return to the grind, you sign at how quick your money vanishes. It's all mundane if boring. But it slowly stacks up on you, all while they advertise criminally high priced "solutions" that would only work for a short time. Wish games like this had paid versions that were just chill and fun to play. Not endless demands for cash.

I like this game a lot so far. LOVE that there is no "energy" mechanic. I wish there was larger inventory space though, I spend a lot of time simply managing inventory. It would be nice to be able to sell extra resources for gold in addition to the order board. It would also be cool to have cooking in the game, I just really like cooking in games. Would be cool to be able to enter buildings too. Fun game so far though.

I don't understand the concept of running around the pine forest constantly collecting materials to upgrade everything. There is no quest besides occasionally two pop-ups in the pine forest. No quest chains, so that sucks. A bit buggy with ads sometimes makes you repeat it. Not to bad of a game if they fixed some of the issues.
