Genji: Dawn of the Samurai takes its inspiration from the pages of the classic Japanese epic, The Tale of Heike. The title takes users into the turbulent setting of 12th century Japan, where two formidable heroes – Minamoto Yoshitsune and Musashibo Benkei – enter into a fight with the oppressive Heishi clan. The title is based on a combination of hack-and-slash combat and the unique Kamui system. This system allows gamers to deliver devastating blows using the mystical power of Amahagane – stones that give characters supernatural abilities. Moving through various locations, encountering many enemies and fighting difficult bosses, users are immersed in a wonderful plot unfolding against the backdrop of historical events.

The plot centers on Yoshitsune's quest for revenge as he emerges from his mountain hideout to avenge his father's death at the hands of the Heishi. Along the way, he forges powerful alliances, most notably with Benkei, a stalwart warrior monk, and Shizuka, a priestess with the ability to fuse Amahagane. Together, this unlikely trio faces off against the formidable Heishi generals, among whom stands out Taira Kagekiyo, a figure shrouded in a dark secret that could change the course of the entire war. Genji: Dawn of the Samurai seamlessly combines historical inspiration and engaging gameplay mechanics to create an immersive experience that captures the essence of the conflicts and heroic stories of feudal Japan.
