Hanako: Honor & Blade

Game Overview

Hanako: Honor & Blade journeys through a beautiful, fictional rendition of 16th century Feudal Japan. Players choose between four types of warriors as they learn to master intuitive, directionally-driven swordplay to ensure victory over their foes. Hanako - Soul of the Samurai features full skill trees per class to boost key stats and choose powerful abilities, engaging multi-map online campaigns and easy to learn but difficult to master combat that seeks to be more than slow gestural combat or simple hack-n-slash.
The artistic qualities and backstory of the game serve as a symbolic tribute to team lead Matt Canei's late mother, and loved ones lost during the production of the game. The territories and war of the game represent an everlasting struggle of life-and-death, health-and-disease and the natural balance of opposing forces to metaphorically represent real life tragedies and to honor those lost.

FAQ

What kind of gameplay is this game offering?
We plan to offer a multiplayer experience with several modes of gameplay expanding beyond
just Team Deathmatch. We are very happy with the modes we have come up with, twists that
we think will make many players happy. Unfortunately we are unable to show them all now but
rest assured that when we think they are good enough to show we will do just that.
Any customization for the different character classes?
We are planning on adding some customization to the characters. Like all things this will be
determined by effort needed/budget.

No this version won’t have any single player gameplay going on. That does not mean we don’t
have plans for any just not for this title.
