Blood and Gore, Violence
This is an action game in which players assume the role of a warrior swordsman (William) in pursuit of a villain during feudal Japan. As players traverse villages and ancient castles, they use swords, spears, longbows, and rifles to kill human enemies and demonic creatures in melee-style and ranged combat. Some attacks result in large sprays of blood as enemies are decapitated and/or dismembered; some areas also depict large smears of blood on walls and mounds of corpses on a battlefield. Cutscenes depict additional acts of violence: a man impaled through the chest with a crystal shard; a creature stabbed through the head with a sword.

Set during a fictionalized version of the year 1600, the plot follows the journeys of William Adams, an Irish sailor named after and inspired by the historic William Adams, an Englishman who became a samurai. Adams pursues the sorcerer Edward Kelley into the final battles of the Sengoku period during Tokugawa Ieyasu's efforts to unify Japan, an effort complicated by the emergence of yōkai that are flourishing in the chaos of war. Gameplay revolves around navigating levels and defeating monsters that have infested an area; combat revolves around stamina or "Ki" management and different sword stances that are strong or weak against different enemies.
