The world has been overrun with zombies, but thanks to the Edo government\u2019s isolationist policies of the time, Japan has managed to avert the zombie plague. But in 1853, the same year Commodore Perry first came to Japan in reality, this in-game Japan is attacked by a foreign ship ending their isolation. With Japan finally facing a zombie infestation, players will fight the hordes as either a samurai, sumo wrestler, or ninja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game\u2019s world is generated randomly each time you play, and you\u2019ll grab items and skills along the way while fighting the zombies. You start the game at your weakest point but gradually grow stronger while playing. From the trailer we can see the samurai using a number of sword techniques, the sumo wrestler fighting with open handed slaps, and the ninja performing acrobatic moves and ninjutsu. We can also see a bomb being acquired and used, and the samurai using a \u201cJapanese Dogeza\u201d bowing skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game\u2019s world has a distinct Edo-period look, battles taking place both outdoors and indoors. Enemy locations on the map are also random, so the same area might not have any enemies one time but be crawling with zombies another time.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-001-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-001-1.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-001-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-001-1-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-001-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-001-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-001-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-001-1-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-001-1-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-001-1-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-002-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-002-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-002-1-600x336.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-002-1-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-002-1-768x430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-002-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-002-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-002-1-696x389.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317-195687-002-1-751x420.jpg 751w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There\u2019s also a place that acts as your home base which can be upgraded.
