Recently released Way of the Samurai 4 doesn’t come on your typical game disc — makes sense as it’s not your typical game!
The Way of the Samurai games have always had a quirky sense of humor, and the fourth installment looks no different. It is another slash-em-up samurai game, but this time with heavy S&M imagery, such as scenes of men in tiny underpants being whipped and being lowered on a /”wooden horse”, which was used for torture in Japan during the 15th century’s Warring States Period. These days it’s still used in S&M play.
Whiffs of masochistic imagery appear on the game disc, leading to some Japanese netizens to say selling back the game after they’ve finished it could prove embarrassing, especially to a female clerk.
