Samurai Western is a PlayStation 2 game in which the player, a samurai named Gojiro Kiryu, travels to the Wild West in search of his brother Rando. On the way you must battle minions of a Tycoon named Goldberg, who is trying to create his own western kingdom.
Although it was not particularly emphasized either in the game's marketing or in the game itself, Samurai Western is actually a "gaiden" (side-story) entry in the Way of the Samurai series.
The game has multiple difficulty levels, ranging from Normal to Insane. You may also practice a level before you play it, but it does not count as a level completion.
