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!

📅 Enjoy Seasonal Events

Would be 5/5 gameplay story concept is amazing But the storage system and tool tents ruin the whole experience. Storage is way too limited and expanding to expensive. The tool tent wouldn't be that much of an issue if it weren't for the dojo coins. You play for hours and make 0 progress which is very demotivating. It forces you to stay stuck in the early phases of the game. Increasing the starting storage and seperating equipment and ressources in backpack would help probably!

It was a decent game. I would have given it 5 stars if it hadn't been abandoned by the developers. There is a pvp arena which is still active, and it's a nice time waster. But there is a lot of grinding in the main game, there is a severe bottleneck with storage even when it's fully upgraded, and the hints that more was planned are frustrating once you have done all there is to do. There are ads, but they are mostly optional. Long ads drop you back to the loading screen.

Very good game. Interesting story and good mechanics. Easy grinding in f2p, don't have to spend anything, just time. It can be glitchy. Targeting is wonky, it sometimes targets an enemy far away while there is one attacking. I opened a X10 chest with 10 keys and I got nothing from it. The keys disappeared, no rewards or anything from the chest. Be careful and open them one at a time, or else you're screwed. If those were fixed it would easily be a five star from me.
