Short Game Description:
Seven Samurai 20XX is a third-person 3D action game inspired by the
greatest samurai film of all time; Akira Kurosawa’s The Seven
Samurai. In proper tribute to the masterpiece, the game has involved
the cooperation of Kurosawa Production and the late director’s
son, Hisao, as well as major contributions from world-famous artists
such as legendary artist/designer Moebius and Academy Award® winning
composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. Seven Samurai 20XX engages players with an
experience that combines intense melee-style samurai combat with an
epic story that takes the film’s timeless tale into the future.
Players take on the role of the young samurai Natoe to fight an army
of mechanical beasts, and ultimately enlist six warriors to help him
defend the humans’ last city. Using a variety of swordplay styles,
Natoe employs numerous single and double katana attacks and an arsenal
of moves that grows with his mastery of the samurai way.
