- Samurai Bringer 6th DAY - 26 April 2022
Hey all you Susanoos out there! Have you been using your sub weapons? For those of you who have yet to come upon these sub weapons, keep on playing through the game - they’ll pop up soon. Sub weapons can be somewhat difficult to use properly, but the most convenient thing about them is that the more armaments you have equipped, the more passive skills you can equip. However, the “sub weapon skills” category is filled with some pretty deep stuff, so we’ll do a bit of explaining down below! Sub weapons not only help by increasing the number of passive skills you can equip; they can also be used in many ways with the "Sub Weapon" skill, too. (Ex. 1) Gun equipped as sub weapon; combine “Sub Weapon” + “Gun” skills. You can swap the weapon and sub weapon (gun) you're holding to fire your gun. (Ex. 2) Sword equipped as sub weapon; combine “Sub Weapon” + “Slash Down” skills. You can swap the we…
- Samurai Bringer 5th DAY - 25 April 2022
Hey all you Susanoos out there! How’s your base’s armament collection coming along? Awesome when gathered, exhilarating when used! If you happen upon a Brave General, start throwing hands and try to take him down! Today we’re going to introduce some especially cool passive skills. Enhanced HP & Enhanced DEF You’re low on HP, and even after eating a riceball, you’re bound to die quickly... This is when these skills come in handy. More SP Rec. & Defeat SP Rec. You want to equip a lot of skills to increase your attack power, but as soon as you do, you run out of breath... These skills are useful in times like this. SP management is important for surviving hardcore attacks or escaping suddenly when required! Collector You can collect scrolls, armaments, keys, etc., automatically. Equipping this enables you to earn what you need more quickly and smoothly. Just be aware that it also sucks up…
- Samurai Bringer 4th DAY - 24 April 2022
Hey all you Susanoos out there! Have you found your favorite piece of equipment yet? Or are you just going for anything super tough? That’s totally OK, too. Go on and get as strong as you can! Now then - have you noticed that HP and SP aren’t the only types of “status” in the game? Attack power is not only determined by the specific skills combined, but also by Susanoo's status. If the passive skills of your armaments have effects such as increased attack or defense, you can actually see the status increase. To do this, simply press the Y button on the Gear Builder screen! This will display your current status at the bottom of the screen. Equipping him with passive skills that enhance his attack/defense power will strengthen his original stats, so the same technique will do even more damage! However, there are many other useful skills as well, so deciding which skills to equip can be to…
- Samurai Bringer 3rd DAY - 23 April 2022
Hey all you Susanoos out there! How’s collecting Combat Scrolls, magatama, and armaments coming along? Today we’re going to introduce some extra-cool skills and combinations. There are some things that the Master will teach you in the game, but there are so many that it gets pretty hard to remember them all. Try some of these out and master them with practice! Recommended Skills: Expand: Your weapons will grow, extending your attack range. Weapon size increases incrementally with the number set. Gun bullets, etc., also grow larger. The image shows a sword at normal size and when enlarged. Samidare: A single attack hits in succession. The number of hits increases with the number set. In the case of a gun bullet, for example, it represents the number of times it penetrates the enemy. Defense Break: Brave Generals/Clan Leaders actually guard surprisingly often. The probability of a guard b…
- Samurai Bringer 2nd DAY - 22 April 2022
How are all you Susanoos out there enjoying your samurai- and yokai-conquering adventure with Samurai Bringer? For those of you who are having a hard time making progress, are you maybe taking on the boss yokai right away? Or are you maybe attacking lots of famous samurai? When starting out, first, take your time and focus on regaining Susanoo's lost strength. You can obtain Combat Scrolls by defeating the three types of samurai: Foot Soldiers ("goombah"-type enemies), Clan Leaders (not that strong, but well-known), and Brave Generals (super strong and famous generals). Collecting and equipping lots of Combat Scrolls will increase the attack power and performance of your techniques. Try employing various different combinations. Certain combinations can even activate special techniques! One simple example would be equipping one Slash Up and one Jump when equipped with a sword, which woul…
- Samurai Bringer 1st DAY - 21 April 2022
Japanese-style rogue-lite 2D action title Samurai Bringer is out now! Many of you have likely felt somewhat confused by the “rogue-lite” genre. The “rogue-like” genre is popular for its tense gameplay in which you obtain different kinds of equipment and skills to become stronger and stronger, but when hit, you lose all of that progress and hard work. To an extent, the same goes for Samurai Bringer, too - if you get hit, you have to start over from the beginning, but this game is actually "rogue-lite". That means you have much less to lose, and the more you play, the more you can regain the lost powers of the main character (and your alter ego), Susanoo, gradually becoming stronger. For example, you can score in-game achievements by defeating lots of enemies, improving your weapon skills, or solving puzzles past a torii gate to obtain "magatama". Collecting magatama allows you to increas…
