Summary
Details

The samurai are among the most iconic warriors in history. The fighting elite of feudal japan, they have played a dominant role in the country's life for over a thousand years. Even today, a century and a half after the rule of the samurai has formally ended, they remain a powerful symbol of martial might, and the embodiment of the stoic warrior.

Like the knights who fought in europe during the same era, the samurai were a feudal aristocracy. Militarily, politically, socially, and economically, they were the most powerful, the most influential, and the most privileged members of society. Though not all samurai were equal in power and status, they were almost always better off than the rest of japanese society.

You will discover:

How the samurai were born - and the core of their being The type of training that helped them resist the emotions that could hinder them from winning a battle How these professional fighters were trained to endure pain and misery

Who minamoto yoritomo is - and how he gained political authority to establish japan's first warrior government The event that resulted in the collapse of the samurai in the late 19th century

Armed with faith and steel, experimental weapons and new tactics, he must lead the way into the depths of the dungeon through swarms of horrific abominations and countless traps. But the dungeon itself is changing. And at the bottom floor, the demon ruler of the world awaits.

The final campaign begins. A desperate, gruelling crusade to win through the dungeon and find a way home. Now is the time for seisen.
