Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa is still highly revered today, with Amazon Singapore carrying his autobiography and even the Criterion Collection Blu-Ray releases. But for those who want to immerse themselves in a Kurosawa film, Amazon Singapore has the game for you.
Trek to Yomi
Buy on Amazon ↗Trek to Yomi is a cinematic action game like no other, as players experience an enchanting tale of romance, duty and death. As the lone swordsman Hiroki, players will seek to honour a vow to Hiroki’s dying master and protect the people he loves.
Trek to Yomi is a love letter to classic Japanese cinema, and there is no doubt that Kurosawa’s films are the main source of inspiration. This can be seen in Trek to Yomi’s monochromatic visuals which, combined with classic 2D combat and puzzle-solving, create a rich, atmospheric adventure.
On Hiroki’s trek, players will see stunning vistas and striking movements in the spirit of classic samurai films combine to create a true cinematic experience. Taking place right in the heart of Japan during a turbulent time in history, Trek to Yomi leans heavily on player immersion.
Modern flourishes are featured in the game’s stylish sword-based combat, which allows players to engage multiple enemies at once. This intuitive combat system balances between careful attack and defence by using the traditional weapons of the samurai.
Inspired by classical Japanese folklore, players will follow the tumultuous life of Hiroki during his heroic fall and emotional return against the forces of evil. This dramatic and tender story is set against a score featuring idiomatic Japanese instruments accurate to the Edo period.
