About this game

Daisho: Survival of a Samurai is an Action RPG with casual survival game mechanics and big village-building possibilities. You'll experience a new type of survival game with quests, continuous open world progression, monthly events and your dumb ways to die not harming your fun level.

šŸ¹ Survival Games, casualized


Chop every tree, hunt rabbits and deer, stone and copper mining - resource management are a staple of every survival game, and Daisho is no different. However, we threw away the hunger games in favor of a replenishing stamina pool so you can start every game session on exploration instead of just preventing yourself from dying.

šŸ›ļø Build your own Japanese village estate


From setting up your first camp to building an entire Japanese village, you'll be pretty busy making a home for yourself and all the rescued souls that turn up to settle as workers. Manage their resource refining jobs, build houses and beautify the city with fountains and other decor.

āš”ļø Carry a big stick (mind the pointy end)


Craft your weaponry from a selection of clubs, katanas, bows, spears and more. Upgrade them to make pointy ends even more pointy, embellish your craft with gems and their attributes, and poke around at the Shogun armies, bandit bosses and other generally unfriendly folk.

šŸ—ŗļø Explore Japan and its dungeons


Dive into dark medieval history and unravel the story of Oda Nobunaga, known as the great Japanese unifier; lead the siege to the stronghold of Kyoto, or rebuild the ancient estates and temples around Mount Fuji. Learning about history has never been more fun!

šŸ“… Enjoy Seasonal Events


Keep coming back for freshly designed seasonal events as they happen. Missed one? Don't worry, we've put them into your game progression and keep them fresh every year.

It's okay but not great. Firstly the graphics are serviceable. The same you'll find in most mobile survival games. The musical score is okay but could definitely do with more variety/intensity. The resource collection in this game is good and works well with perks. Sadly this game doesn't have radiant quests were it desperately needs it. For as many perks as there are level progression is extremely slow. Too slow. All in all it's okay. I'm going to uninstall and wait for later updates.

Slow and so many energy packs. I was under the impression this was a bit different but it's like all the other slow progress use energy to progress, it's so dry I couldn't stand to put time into it, especially when they are charging weekly packs for your gear not to get destroyed instantly which happens a lot. Loading screens are atrocious. So many other options to put your time and money into. No sense of rewarding properly.

Hi there, this might come a little late but perhaps you would want to dive in again: We have removed the energy system from Daisho, and changed a couple things more alongside with new events and features. Hope to see you back!

First off its great that you have started to implement Wireless controller support, thats always a good step but it seems buggy, i still have to tap on the screen when looting to take items. The graphics and rather standard which is okay because it seems to be the look you were going for. The game does get repetitive pretty quickly. (Finish controller support)
