PS2: Kidou Shin Sangumi Moeyo Ken    JPN

Purchase by clicking the name of the game.

The Meiji restoration put an end to the Tokugawa shogunate and re-installed imperial rule as western powers sought to transform Japan from feudalism into an open trading port. With colonial fleets pounding on Japanese ports, nationalism and Satsuma upstarts seized the imperial palace in Kyoto and restored the young Emperor Meiji while toppling the shogunate capital of Edo. The emperor would later move from Kyoto to Edo which was later renamed Tokyo. With power localized in a small cabal of nobles allied with the Emperor, the Japanese began to regain independence from the Europeans and Americans by democratizing the country and breaking down boundaries between the social classes. The samurai of Japan would suffer most as their privileges were stripped and rank removed...    Placed in the backdrop of these events, Kidou Shin Sankumi Moeyo Ken follows the adventures of a group of lady sword fighters as they deal with heaving changes in Japanese society and the appearance of demonic forces (perhaps an allegory to the "white devils" invading Japan at the time) who seek to destabilize the restoration of Japan. Patrol the streets of Kyoto and repel evil in order to maintain the peace in this interactive-action game created by Sakura Taisen progenitor Hiroi Ouji and manga artist Takahashi Rumiko of Ranma and Inuyasha fame.
