It's your task to prevent this: you must venture forth towards Onikaru, the Pit of Demons, slay Ikiru and recover Singing Death, so that the Shogun may reaffirm his righteous rule. All of this because the evil Master of Shadows, Ikiru, has stolen the Dai-Katana, the Singing Death, and is trying to use its secrets to rule over the land of Hachiman and beyond with his armies. Furthermore, dangerous beasts roam the land. One day, you're summoned by your lord to complete a dangerous task: the kingdom of Hachiman is restless, many feudal lords are revolting against the Shogun and move war to each other, causing death and mayhem all over the country. You are a samurai from Hachiman, in Khul, and you're the Shogun's champion. Sword of the Samurai is the 20 th entry in the Fighting Fantasy series of Gamebooks, written by the combined effort of Mark Smith and Jamie Thompson, this time forfeiting the traditional European fantasy setting for something closer to Jidaigeki.
