Hey all you Susanoos out there, thanks so much for playing Samurai Bringer!
We’ve been pursuing all of the positive comments and requests/suggestions for improvement very carefully.
It's going to take a little more time, but we're also working on adding a key configuration feature and fixing various bugs. Our team is working hard to make the game even more fun as quickly as possible!
The following is a list of issues that are currently being addressed, as well as fixes and improvements that will be implemented in the next update. More detailed information will be provided at the time of the actual update.
- Implementation of key configuration feature
- Addition of ability to fix map orientation
- Fixed a bug that was impeding progress when freezing after defeating the Yuki-onna, or when battling a Great Demon
- Fixed a bug that prevented progress when resurrected during the Yamata-no-Orochi battle
- Various other bug fixes
Also, we are still investigating the crash issue and the save data loss issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
We're looking forward to all of your reviews, feedback, and bug reports!
Now then, there was a bit of a pause, but we are very pleased to announce the continuation of this Samurai Bringer news.
It's been a whole week since the game's release! We assume some of you Susanoos have already defeated the Yamata-no-orochi. Congratulations!
For those of you just starting out, enjoy! Also, sorry for the spoiler-y news!
There are so many ingame achievements that we're sure there are very few Susanoos out there who have unlocked them all.
If you look at this, you will see "Quick Rescue" at the bottom. (You can also find this in the Steam Achievements.)
The ultimate goal here is to pull off the rescue within three days - or 72 hours - of ingame time.
If you achieve this, you will not only defeat Yamata-no-Orochi, but also...?
Be sure to give it a try!
However, it's pretty hard to try to rush and take down some of the more difficult enemies really quickly when you're having a hard enough time just taking them down normally! We'll provide a few tips for those of you who feel this may be a bit too hardcore.
There is almost no time to leisurely collect equipment from Brave Generals, but it can help a lot if you can get some of the useful passive skills we've described in the news previously, so one strategy is to avoid rushing into boss yokai fights immediately after starting, but to instead rush to defeat the samurai on the battlefield.
Another (slight) difference would be to register a strategic set of skills using Secret Scrolls in order to save time in setting up your combat techniques. Although Secret Scrolls are expensive at 500 coins each, we'd recommend stocking up on them as it's easy to save up money if Susanoo is able to defeat the boss yokai.
Boss yokai generally attack with the "evil" attribute. Since the evil attribute cuts down SP, some of you Susanoos may have a hard time due to running out of stamina quickly, especially when you want to attack continuously.
If this happens, try equipping armaments with passive skills that are resistant to the evil attribute.
Even if you don't have evil resistance, it'll be much easier if you have resistance to ice, fire, or other attribute attacks.
Also, each boss yokai has a weakness to one attribute or another. By simply swapping attributes, the damage you can dole out can change drastically!
If your attack fails to reach their weakness, you need to either jump, or attack with a different, upward-hitting move.
In the former case, try incorporating four Jumps into your combat techniques in order to avoid falling back down during a jump attack.
For the latter, try various combinations and incorporate techniques such as Samidare into techniques with large upward-hitting attacks in order to increase both the number of hits and damage.
And lastly, just keep trying and trying again! You got this!
Today’s Tips For Those of You Whom These May Still Benefit:
- The camera can be rotated left and right. You can also look downward from above by pressing the buttons simultaneously (you can also return to the previous view by pressing the buttons simultaneously). The rotation direction can also be changed in the options, too!
- In Options, you can choose to enter advancing/retreating Light Vortex automatically or manually (by pressing LT)!
- If you're like, "I can't see the treasure chests or enemies hidden by trees and buildings!", try rotating the camera or turning on transparency in the Options menu to be able see their outlines!
As you can see, the Options/various configurations can prove super handy, so make sure you check them out!
