What is Samurai Slaughter House?
Samurai Slaughter House is a VR-only action adventure centered on physics-based combat and open-world exploration.
Weapons and enemies have weight and resistance; attacks can be blocked or parried, while enemies can be pushed, tripped, knocked over, or struck at weak points. Players can use stealth, creativity, or direct force against human and demon foes. Connected, hand-crafted locations contain alternate passages and secret areas. Towns include interactive NPCs, quest lines, shops, ingredients, currency, and an inventory. Players can collect items, improve their character, and recruit friendly NPCs or yokai to fight alongside them. The weapon selection includes real-world martial arts weapons and designs based on movies, anime, and manga. Two original soundtracks provide lo-fi and drum n bass music.
