To Become Kengo Sword Master Requires Absolute Commitment.

As an actor/samurai for a troop of Kabuki warriors trying to travel from Edo to Kyoto, you possess both strength and style. Along the way, you'll have to fight other Kabuki troops, garner the favor of the crowd to receive tips, and trade warriors with your defeated counterparts. When you arrive in Kyoto, you will need a very accomplished group of samurai to defeat the city's Star troop.

Battle in winner-take-all competitions on stages across Japan, pummeling opponents and striking dramatic poses to gain the crowd's favor and maxing out the popularity bar to perform devastating special attacks.
