Soul of The Samurai - Kotaro | CRT Shader
5Soul of the Samurai for the original PlayStation is a short but highly enjoyable experience that combines action, exploration, and a gripping story. The narrative feels like a blend of Onimusha and Resident Evil, with wicked experiments carried out for military purposes, all set against the atmospheric backdrop of the Edo period in Japan.
The gameplay is a mix of exploration and combat. You’ll scour various areas to uncover goodies like health items, weapons, and secrets that help you progress. Along the way, you’ll encounter goons with unique move sets, keeping the combat fresh and challenging. But the real highlight is the boss fights—they test your skills and require specific tactics to emerge victorious, adding an extra layer of strategy to the experience.
One of the most memorable moments comes when the legendary Musashi challenges the protagonist, Kotaro, to a deadly duel. After a hard-fought battle, Kotaro emerges victorious and is awarded Musashi’s legendary blades—a fitting reward for such an epic encounter.
This hidden gem truly deserves more recognition, blending intense gameplay with an unforgettable samurai aesthetic.
