Although the gameplay is simple, it's a fun game to play and enjoy. I played through the Ronin difficulty and had a good amount of fun and challenge with the game. I will definitely play through it again to see the other endings to the story.

If you are not into games that are short or linear then this game is not for you it's very scripted and narrow in terms of gameplay variety. There is also an English dub that you can apply if you so desire, but I do recommend playing it through with the Japanese audio for Authenticity and Immersion.

If none of these is an issue to you then hack and slash away my fellow Samurai (bows Proudly and then exit's)

I enjoyed Trek To Yomi to a certain degree the game started out pretty good had amazing visuals and impressive voice acting but the story seemed like the usual Samurai revenge on bandits type of thing which isn't original and while this could be viewed as a missed opportunity due to some aspects of the story showing some promise i still wouldn't be too harsh on the game on that spectrum. Admittedly i couldn't keep myself from thinking well, what if they had done this or that in the story instead? But thats just personal preference. The gameplay on the other hand was mostly fine for an indie game nothing crazy like Sekiro or Ghost of Tsushima but stable and simple combat mechanics and well rounded map design with multiple secret areas and shortcuts that you can take and sometime be completely unaware of their existence the enemy variety kinda sucks because it doesn't encourage you to play differently at all. Infact i finished most of the game without using the ranged weapons they give you throughout the game which felt like a massive missed opportunity especially when enemy types could have been built based on the combinations of weaponry at your disposal which wasn't the case as the encounters felt very repetitive after a certain time. The puzzles scattered around the map were very simple and felt like fillers that are there to increase play time rather than be fun or creative and the amount of shrines (check-points) is just horrendous i played this game on Kansai mode in which you basically die in one shot and still i managed to beat it without much trouble due to the staggering amount of shrines after almost every encounter. Overall i'd suggest this game to people who enjoy games with a focus on middle age Japan and the way of the Samurai as the game nailed those aspects perfectly but thats pretty much it.

TREK TO YOMI was a great little indie platformer game, loosely inspired by old fashioned Samurai revenge tales (i.e. Hara-kiri, etc.). The voice acting was really great, as was the overall atmosphere and design. The story itself is rather typical, following previous tropes of the genres, but still fairly fun to follow. The game itself is fairly simple and straightforward although not always easy per say. At times the fight can become difficult.

"Experience an enthralling story of a Samurai named Hiroki during his fall against the forces of evil and heroic return to make good on his failed promise to save the people he swore to protect."

The was a fun and, at times, challenging game.
