A hack and slash game with a barebones story to get you through its decent but unbroken strings of combat. While Yoshitsune feels great to play the parry timing outside of Amahagane feels random at best and the game doesn’t have much variety in combat outside of optional sidekick Benkei.

Apenas o melhor jogo de samurai do PS2 que já joguei… muito maneiro

I had recieved this game from a friend, was surprised at how amazing it was. Scored based on when it was new(ish).

Game is repetitive and too short and the combat is basically a "smash one Button" kind of deal


game is too short, would have been perfect if it was longer, you can beat this game in a day

Pretty cool game but i wish they added more moves to the combat, the slashing feels so satisfying but still it kinda gets repetitive after a while. My favorite part of the combat system is the Kamui mechanic, that was badass and very fun to do.

it's like a sekiro but it's easy

Jogo divertido, curto, não entendi nada da história.

voce mata Deus. muiot foda.

Love at first sight would be what grabbed my interest in Genji and I am so glad that the game delivered from start to finish. An action rpg that combines stylish action combat from former Onimusha staff with RPG mechanics for newcomers & veterans to experiment in these fearous battles. Gorgeous next gen visuals, lovely instrumental sounds and thrilling bosses make Genji: Dawn of the Samurai the strongest first impression from new studio GameRepublic then and now.
It’s a shame Genji 2 throws pretty much all of that out of the window. Giant enemy crab aside, it truly is a bummer that next gen Genji did not deliver. However, Genji: Dawn of the Samurai is 100% worth a play if you have the means to acquire it. It deserves to be on the PS4 and PS5 so that millions can experience one of the best action games of all time. Thank you GameRepublic, JapanStudio, and Sony Interactive Entertainment for making this wonderful hidden gem!

É curto na minha opnião mas é bom, a boss fight contra a quimera nas flores vale o game pra mim, na humilda.

A game from my childhood why i play through every couple years and everytime i do i love it again.
May come of as a typical hack'n slash PS2 era game but it is kinda unique in my opinion.
The feudal Japan and Yokai themes are really cool and i like how it incorporates the real tale of Minamoto Yoshitsune and Benkei.
And i just love the slow-mo mechanic you have in this game. It's sometimes infuriating when failed but at the same time also so damn cool when you get it just right!
Such an underrated gem.

Hack and Slash from the Onimusha lineage with Sony's budget behind it, really high production values for a PS2 game.
The story is ok ish and the gameplay while not having too many combos it's very responsive and has an addictive samurai special abillity.
However I think the boss fights makes this very impressive, the Phoenix and the final boss are some of the best you can find in this type of game at the time.

I remember playing this and feeling cool with the combos and styles but then I played it again when I got older and I found out how easy and bad it really is, but still, I had fun the first time I played it.

One of those "short but sweet" games. Great story, cool characters, doesn't overstay its welcome, kamui mechanic is fun to use and easy to get used to especially for Onimusha players, and the game is not overly hard or overly easy... it has the right amount of difficulty.
