Transcript:
In 16th century Japan, the daimyo, or wealthy landowners, fought for control during the bloody Sengoku Period. As a side-effect of the greed and bloodshed, three warlords united the land. The first, Oda Nobunaga was betrayed by his own general, and his successor Toyotomi Hideyoshi died with only a child heir, Hideyori. A council of Five Elders was left to rule, but Tokugawa Ieyasu moved to unite all Japan under his rule instead. The remaining Toyotomi loyalists, led by Ishida Mitsunari took up arms to stop their one time ally.
But the bloodshed invited a new problem. Shapeshifting animal spirits and the vengeful spirits of the dead called Yokai have begun wreaking havoc. To make matters worse, a European alchemist, Edward Kelley, fled to Japan and used his dark powers to spur the Japanese clans to continue their bloody conflict.
You are William Adams, the first Western samurai. You've pursued Kelley halfway across the globe and find yourself allied with Tokugawa and his loyal ninja Hattori Hanzo. Together, you’ll rid Japan of the Yokai menace, settle an old score with Kelley, and maybe even unite Japan to usher in a period of lasting peace -- who knows? Just remember to pray at every shrine and collect all the souls-err Amrita.
Have fun!
