Samurai Vandalism is a single‑player RPG set in the war‑torn land of Yamato. Players follow Mukuro, Momo, and Kinako as they confront the shogunate’s elite force, Hozuki, while navigating a rebellion led by Byakuya. The game blends turn‑based combat with investigative dialogue, letting you interrogate locals for clues. Hand‑drawn anime‑style animation brings each attack to life, and a fully expanded edition adds post‑release battles and relationship content, all voiced by a female cast.
