Way of the Samurai 2 takes place at the end of the Edo period in 19th Century feudal Japan and is set in a town called Amahara, located on the island of Dejima. The citizens of Amahara once lived in peace and harmony, but as policy shifted within the powerful Magistrate抯 office, they have found themselves the victims of extreme justice. The local 慉oto gang? who formerly valued love and duty, have become disorganised since the death of their boss. Without a proper leader they have begun to behave without honour, spreading tyranny and fear throughout the town.
