About The Spirit of the Samurai
Assume the role of Takeshi, a Japanese samurai who has to protect his village from the onslaught of an Oni attempting to conquer the land with his undead army. Fight against his army of tengu, undead and the horrifying Jorogumo, all inspired by Japanese mythology, in a unique, brutal stop-motion cinematic adventure.
Defend the Forbidden Village
Explore a meticulously crafted world alive with Japanese mythology and folklore. Wander through ruined villages, mountain caves, desolate cemeteries, and more. Battle yokai, undead monsters, and demons, all expertly rendered in a highly detailed, Ray Harryhausen-esque stop-motion style.
Three Spirits Bound by Fate
Fight through the undead hordes as three distinct characters: Takeshi, a skilled samurai; Kodama, a brave but tiny spirit; and Chisai, a warrior cat. Each interacts with the world in a different way, from intense sword combat to precise platforming and exploration.
Wield Legendary Power
Confront legions of demons armed with the weapons of ancient Japan: the iconic katana, the versatile yari spear, and the formidable bow. Unleash devastating special power attacks and combos unique to each character as you fight your way to the Oni’s castle.
Every step taken and foe vanquished grants you invaluable experience. Harness this to unlock the true potential within you, enhancing your abilities, honing your stats, and above all mastering an array of awe-inspiring moves that you can form into custom combos.

Unique stop-motion-style animation, character design, and cinematics
2D Action Adventure gameplay with Metroidvania elements

How much does The Spirit of the Samurai for PC cost right now?
The Spirit of the Samurai for PC starts at €2.34 (€2.45 with fees) at Difmark, 88% under the €19.99 (no fees) of the official store — but that is a shared account, not a key of your own. If you want a key tied to your own account, the cheapest is €3.47 (€4.10 with fees) at Kinguin.
That €2.34 (€2.45 with fees) already includes the Gocdkeys coupon, so apply it at checkout or the store will show you a higher price.
With 12 offers across 9 stores there is enough competition for the price to move, so the gap between the cheapest and the rest is worth checking before you buy.
That puts it 1% under its average of €3.89 since 2024, so today is a better entry point than most days of its life.

Is it worth buying the Steam Key for The Spirit of the Samurai now or waiting?
That €3.47 (€4.10 with fees) key is at its usual price: no bargain, no spike.
- Those €3.47 (€4.10 with fees) are essentially what it usually costs.
- 8 stores sell the Steam Key at the same time, and with that much competition the price moves almost daily.
- Not counting today, 122 days out of the 268 days on record were this cheap or cheaper; the lowest it has ever cost is €2.79.
Worked out from 1,368 daily records of the Steam Key for The Spirit of the Samurai across 9 stores. See the full price history.
The price does not include each store's payment fees. The percentage is measured on the store price, without coupons, because that is how we record the history. The analysis only counts Key offers. Shared accounts, Steam Gift and physical editions stay out, because they are not the same product and their prices move differently.
Which The Spirit of the Samurai format should you buy?
With the shared account at Difmark you log into an account that already owns the game: it is the cheapest route, but it never becomes yours and the seller keeps the credentials. If they ever lose or change them, you lose access.
The key at Kinguin costs €1.13 (€1.65 with fees) more, but you redeem it on your own account and the game stays there for good. That is the difference between renting and buying.
The 3 Steam Gift offers are pricier than the key and leave more room for error, because they depend on the region and on Steam friendship.
Can you activate The Spirit of the Samurai in US?
11 of the 12 offers work on US — the Global ones plus the ones issued for your own region.
Is The Spirit of the Samurai worth it?
23 outlets reviewed it and it averages 55 out of 100, with 35% recommending it.
Why is there such an expensive The Spirit of the Samurai offer?
One listing is worth ignoring: the Steam gift that G2A has at €24.17 (€24.46 with fees) is more than 9 times the cheapest offer and is not what this game costs. The number to work from is €3.47 (€4.10 with fees) at Kinguin.

What do our users think of The Spirit of the Samurai for PC Digital?
Shockingly beautiful stop-motion-esque 2D action-adventure game steeped should deep in Japanese folklore. The visuals and atmosphere is stunning as you do battle with various yokai and the undead. Movement is a little stiff as is combat; future s are promised to fine-tune the experience.
