Description


On the streets of Mikado, only the tough survive. For one man, a heist gone wrong would change his life forever.

Set during the Edo period of Japan, Kamiwaza stars amateur thief Ebizo, who aspires to steal from the rich and give to the poor. During his first stint, however, he and his mentor, Ainosuke, witness their own men take the lives of innocent civilians. Disillusioned by the horrific display of violence, Ainosuke advises Ebizo to escape with the only survivor—a lone girl.

A decade later, Ebizo has held fast to his morals, living an honest and fulfilling life with Suzuna, the young girl he took in as his own daughter. But the illusion of security is shattered once Suzuna falls ill. In order to buy the medicine she desperately needs, Ebizo is faced with a heavy financial burden. Conflicted, Ebizo is forced to return to the underbelly of Mikado, but vows only to steal for the sake of those less fortunate.

Will you walk the path of honor, even as a thief? The choice is yours to make.


Family First: What lengths would you go to for those you hold dear? Familial bonds will be put to the test in this uniquely heartwarming tale.

History in the Making: Your decisions as a thief will determine your future with multiple branching storylines.

Really fun game. Not exactly pure stealth, more like action packed thief experience in some Japanese town. Port is pretty basic, but game doesn't look bad. A bit similar to Way of the Samurai series gameplay wise. Give

Acquire is one of the best developers that the industry has seen. This one has never before been released in the West and I am glad it finally has been. It is a gem! For anyone familiar with Way of The Samurai,

During my first couple of hours with Kamiwaza, I had a blast. Stealing everything in sight while taking on missions in feudal Japan alongside the game's inventive, addicting stealth combos is insanely enjoyable at

The map here is small but dense like Dead Rising and the stealth mechanics have a learning curve of about an hour or two. The only issue is the incredibly annoying prog rock at the main hub map and title screen. The

Gonna be real, $40 is definitely an insane asking price for an Unreal port of a PS2 game, (especially one with what seems like a couple graphics issues during extended play sessions like the fog/steam not loading, but
