Expeditions: Samurai

The game is great for people who like the early history of the 17th century and find it fun. Do not expect a history lesson; it is just a colorful game with semi-modern banter, based on some historical events. I especially love the depth the companions have, especially how contradictory the priest character is, for example. Pros: - Colorful clothing like it should be. - The Portuguese and Spanish are evil bastards. - The weapons actually have sheaths. - The party most of the time starts sneaking because they are only 4 against a bunch of enemies. - You can pet cats. - There is a discussion between two companions about sex and cannibalism. Cons: - Class information is unclear. - Needs more colorful cursing. - The trading mechanic needs work; you waste time guessing how much the seller wants. You also need a tool to compare the equipment. - Only one type of body, needs more muscles and fat. - Asking El Gato why she is with the Portuguese makes no sense. Portugal and Spain were governed by the same king. - Lots of bugs.

Loved it even tho its short and in early access :D

Pretty fun, not a lot of content yet, ask me again in when the full game comes out.

I've enjoyed. Story and gameplay are both fun. Primary complaint I see in other reviews is throwing shade at developers for selling the IP off...not relevant to this game's level of enjoyment. It's a different take but same basic recipe. After playing the last two entries, Vikings and Rome, I think this is a fun entry so far. hard to say too much considering the game isn't complete.

Very good game that reconnects to the first vibe of Expeditions. Very cool charachters, cool quests, nice combats, very nice Feodal Japan spirit. Rome was very good but somewhat had that Strategy touch that wasn't quite the former spirit of the serie. I have to notice that I don't like the UI choices and the commands are clunky Some strange choices as right clicking for everything with key combination makes it very counterintuitive : Forget about stealth... Still needs polish but seems to me the best of all expeditions games !

Congratulations. You did it again. Great game, I can't put it down. K, gotta go get back to it.

Mariko sama, fetch me my wallet.

Pretty good for early access. The premise of the story isn't my favorite as it feels very similar to Shogun if you've ever seen that show or the books it's based on. I would have preferred a game set in Japan prior to the arrival of Europeans. That said, it plays pretty well without any major issues. Definitely needs some control tweaks for certain things but still promising and enjoyable.
