Sword of the Samurai is an action and strategy video game developed and published by MicroProse in 1989 for the DOS platform. It features role-playing, strategy, and arcade elements set in feudal Japan. The player begins the game as a little-known vassal samurai; his ultimate goal is to replace Oda Nobunaga as the daimyō responsible for reunifying Sengoku Japan.
Tommo purchased the rights to this game and digitally publishes it through its Retroism brand in 2015.[1] The game was re-released in 2014 on Gog.com and Steam with support for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
