. The story takes place in Amana, a fictional land ruled by a rising feudal lord
, Fujimori Shuzen, who had overthown his former superior, Lord Sakurai, and became the new ruler. The Fujimori clan is an emerging force in Amana and has many enemies within its territory. In order to protect their domain, they force farmers and villagers to overwork and impose heavy taxes on them to strengthen their armed force. Because of this, people in Amana are beginning to feel discontent toward the Fujimori clan.
There are three main factions in Amana: Fujimori clan, Ouka clan, and Takatane villagers. The Ouka clan consists of vassals of the Sakurai clan and outcasts who desire power. They want to overthrow the Fujimori clan. The Takatane villagers are harmonious people only wishing for peace.
. Players can create their own samurai by combining several heads with some bodies. Non-Player Character
(NPC) models are also available for use after this option is unlocked, any NPCs (including females) that you have knocked unconscious will become selectable.
Originally, there is only male heads. The Plus version of the game added a female head (from Way of the Samurai 2), but even when playing with a female model, NPCs will still address the protagonist as "he".
Similar to the last two games, players have direct involvement in the plot by choosing dialogues and actions in the game. A new feature in the game is that players can draw their weapon anytime during cutscenes.
The number of events are three times more than the previous game and there are 22 endings as opposed to 14 in the last game. After completing the game, players will retain the weapons, items, parts they obtained, money, as well as physical stats, learned skills and techniques for future replays.
Based on what they did in the game, players will receive an end-game title and Samurai Points. There are 50 different titles, ranging from "Nobody" to "Samurai 4EvR!". The total Samurai Points are used to unlock secrets, heads, clothes, and abilities.
The game, however, encourages players to be honourable, because they will lose their total Samurai Points for doing villainous acts, and will not be able to unlock secrets.
Time is displayed by a clock on the top right corner of the screen. One minute in the game is equal to one second in real life. Time progresses as the day advances; morning, noon, evening, night, midnight, and dawn. Certain events only occur at a certain time of the day. Unlike previous games, there is no day limit in this game.
The "safe house" first introduced in Way of the Samurai 2 returns, but this time you can actually walk around. A bed, weapon safe, money safe, item box, closet, and part box can be found inside the house.
The "parry" technique introduced in the last game was scrapped. Now the "push and pull" system like in the 1st game is used, as well as a new "instant kill" (hissatsu) technique called "glimpse of death", which is activated after a successful awase. After an instant kill, it is possible to perform a chain kill (rensatsu) just by approaching opponents and hitting the right buttons.
With Blunt Attack mode ON the samurai will uses the blunt side of the blade instead of the sharp edge, and as the result, enemies will be knocked out instead. When using blunt attack, instant kill is disabled.
Weapons will gain EXP and level up. New skills can be learned by leveling up weapons. At max level (50), the weapon will have infinite durability and become unbreakable. You can learn unarmed fighting (bare hands stance) and dual ninja swords techniques by reading scrolls. Learned skills are now recorded with the main character and later can be assigned to new created weapons. Once you have learned all skills for a sword stance (like middle stance), a stance mastery trophy will be unlocked.
or spears by collecting parts like blades (scabbard
s included), guards, grips, pommel
s, and bringing them to the blacksmiths. Players then can set a stance and assign moves to it, and can even name their new unique weapon. According to the official blog, there are around 200 original parts and more than 750 skills to choose from (skills must be learned first).
The swords are still divided into seven types: middle stance (chūdan-no-kamae), upper stance (jōdan-no-kamae), lower stance, side stance (waki-gamae), single stance (one-handed), draw stance (fencing/battōjutsu), and ninja stance. The "dual stance" swords introduced in Way of the Samurai 2 were removed. Instead, you can obtain the "dual wielding" ability (can equip any two swords at once) after earning a certain amount of Samurai Points. Spears are now treated as its own kind (spear stance), not "side stance swords" anymore.
A new stat for weapons is "weight", ranging from 0 (light) to 8 (unmovable). Heavyweight weapons will be very slow.
, Swordplay Theater. Your partners might agree to live with you at your home if they become fond of you, but they will be jealous if you bring home another girl and will be angry if you do not come home for many days. When living together, each partner can have positive or negative effects, like increasing money in the safe or breaking swords.
There are 14 partners (4 more are added in Plus version) you can get in this game (anyone who has a green name tag is recruitable), from a spear-wielding widow to the ghost of a murdered woman to Donna (the afro samurai from the 1st game) to a cat girl called "Nya-Nya" (meow meow). Each of them has different abilities, from assisting in combat to holding weapons/items/parts. The max relationship point of each partner is 7.14%. To have 100%, player must raise relationship with all available partners.
In addition to various normal "jobs" provided by 4 different brokers, there are some mini games like "help the old lady toll the bell", "cut vegetables for the old woman", "dismantle the giant tuna", and "make mochi(sticky rice cakes)".
The game is fairly unknown outside of Japan. In one of the rare reviews for this game, Gamesradar
gives "7 reasons you should care about Way of the Samurai 3". Chris Roper from IGN
wrote a short review, giving it a 6.5 overall for having "PS2 games" graphics, "meh" combat, and "not enough of a sandbox to really build a castle". On November 30, 2009 (more than one month and a half after its release), Gamespot
finally posted a review for this game, with a 5.5 (mediocre) score.
