My Wild Gameplay Experience with the Yasuke Simulator Demo

Hey gamers! I recently jumped into the Yasuke Simulator demo, a game that’s getting tons of buzz as a possible rival to Assassin’s Creed Shadows. If you’re into samurai action, historical settings, or just love watching someone hilariously fail at platforming, this blog post is for you! Let’s break down my experience in a way that’s easy to follow and fun to read.

The Setup: A Samurai Adventure in Feudal Japan

The game starts in Feudal Japan, where you play as Yasuke, a character training to become a samurai. The demo throws you right into the action with a mission to navigate a training course and take on the Takeda Clan. The vibe is super cool—think cherry blossoms, wooden ships, and epic samurai training. But here’s the catch: this game is not easy, especially if, like me, you’re terrible at timing jumps!

Learning the Basics: Crouch, Roll, Jump… and Fail!

The first part of the demo is all about learning basic moves: crouching, rolling, jumping, and even crawling. Sounds simple, right? Nope! I spent forever trying to get through a platforming section where you have to jump across gaps while wearing heavy samurai armor. My timing was so bad that I kept falling, over and over again. At one point, I even joked that I was “embarrassing Yasuke” because I failed so many times. The game kept saying, “Try again, you are samurai,” but honestly, I felt more like a samurai in training wheels!

The Bicycle Surprise: Wait, What?!

Just when I thought I’d seen it all, the game threw in a wild twist: riding a “royal bicycle” through a bamboo grove. Yep, you read that right—bicycles in Feudal Japan! It’s obviously not historically accurate, but it was hilarious. I had to dodge obstacles and make jumps on the bike, which was way harder than driving in GTA Online. Let’s just say my bicycle skills need some serious work.

Combat Chaos: Fighting the Takeda Clan

After surviving (barely) the platforming and bike challenges, I finally got to the combat part. The Takeda Clan attacked, and I had to pick up a gun, shoot targets, and fight enemies. The combat was intense, but I ran out of ammo fast and had to scramble to survive. The enemies kept saying cool lines like, “The way of bushido is written in blood,” which made me feel like I was in an epic samurai movie—until I died and had to restart from the beginning. Ugh!

Final Thoughts: Is It Worth the Hype?

Overall, the Yasuke Simulator demo was a mix of fun, frustration, and total craziness. The platforming was super hard for me, but the combat and setting were awesome. I’m not sure if it’s a true “Assassin’s Creed Shadows killer,” but it’s definitely worth checking out if you love samurai games or want a good laugh at my fails. Just be ready to sweat through those jumps!
