[b]Hey all you Susanoo’s out there! [/b] It’s been a while. How are you all doing? We have a major update for you today, so read on to find out more! As part of our current Samurai Showdown Competition, we’ve added two new Brave Generals to the game: Minamoto Yoshitsune and Musashibō Benkei! Seek them out in-game, show them who’s boss and make their equipment your own! You can find them at the northernmost part of the Base. Yoshitsune adopts a swashbuckling style, swiftly cutting down enemies. He is also adept at aerial attacks, as well as bow attacks. Benkei on the other hand, is not as quick and nimble, but possesses a massive polearm that allows him to draw in hordes of enemies before blowing them away with one daunting swing of his weapon.

Simply visit the newly added scrolls in the Base to review tips from earlier in the game you may have forgotten about. Tips yet to be uncovered by the player will remain hidden. Check back on earlier tips periodically, who knows, you may be reminded of some useful techniques to help you on your journey. We’ve also introduced scarecrows, a new system that allows you to store arms and combat techniques, as well as a new Well system that allows you to return to Base quickly during your adventures. Have you ever thought “Oh how I wish I could try out the arms of that Brave General I’ve just defeated right away!”? Well, this is where the Well comes in handy! You can also store your custom set-up at a scarecrow while you try out other set-ups. Don’t like the new set-up? Simply return to the scarecrow and revert back to your previous set-up, although it does set you back a little.

It may be a little confusing, but the mouse cursor is not displayed, not even during the title screen. Just as before, you can navigate menu options via the WASD keys, except now you can select by clicking the left mouse button or go back using the right mouse button. For those interested in giving this function a go, you’ll need to unplug your controller first. We’ve also addressed the issue of players being killed in an instant by strong Brave Generals during the early stages of the game by reducing combo damage received and making it so that players don’t die immediately upon receiving major damage in one hit. While that should alleviate the issue, don’t forget that if your enemy is too strong, there is no shame in escaping! We’ll just call it tactically retreating. Here is the full list of changes in this update. We hope you continue to enjoy Samurai Bringer!
