Supported Language Update
- The latest update adds support for Japanese language.
Way of the Samurai 4 takes place in the humble port town of Amihama during the mid 19th Century, several years after the arrival of the “black ships” from the West ended Japan’s long history of cultural isolation.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

My name’s Phil, and I have a confession: I love janky games. It’s why I’ve spent days in the buggy sandboxes of Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls series. It’s why I once spent an afternoon hunting flying jaguars in an unpatched version of Boiling Point. It’s why I’ll always have a fondness for a particular type of Japanese game that combines quirky writing and a heap of systemic jank to create something entertaining.  The best of these is Sega’s excellent Yakuza series, but they’re not on PC, so I’m playing Way of the Samurai 4
I’m delighted to be able to say that Way of the Samurai 3 has now been released on Steam priced at $19.99 (£14.99) with a 20% launch discount. http://store.steampowered.com/app/427510 Honour, sacrifice, betrayal… Your choices make you who you are. How will history remember you? Jump into the sandals of a mysterious lone samurai during Japan’s turbulent Sengoku era, in one of the most atmospheric action RPGs ever created! Explore the villages, body-strewn battlefields, bandit fortresses, immense castles and local town of Amana, in an open world bustling with a rich cast of colourful characters

I feel like the Way of the Samurai 3 trailer is quite telling about what the game’s priorities are. It’s a 2008 open-world action game, originally for PS3 and Xbox 360, which should be gracing the PC with its presence before the end of the year, following in the steps of its sequel Way of the Samurai 4. If editing and screen time mean anything at all, the game is about as proud of its crafting system as it is of its silly sex scenes and their embarrassing innuendos. …

The new build should fix the mismatched sound effects, particularly when walking and also contains some other fixes relating to the initialisation of volumes and saving out correctly to the ini file.

We've just uploaded a new build which should fix the mismatched sound effects when walking. Edit - Due to this build causing issues with the mouse support we have now removed it from Steam. We're are continuing to work on it and you can expect a build that fixes this issue in the near future.

Hi everyone. We're just about to upload a new build which in addition to fixing a few bugs also adds Field of View, depth of field and bloom/glare options to the ini file. Fixed - Camera sometimes spinning when changing scenes Added new options to the .ini file (run the game first to update the ini file) FOV - changes FieldOfView in-game (excludes cut scenes) EnableDOF - set this value to 0 to disable depth of field effect EnableHDR - set this value to 0 to disable bloom/glare effect Audio volume fix – Audio between ingame voices and cut scenes should be the same. Fixed issue with cursor displ
