Samurai Archery

Samurai Archery is a bow and arrow archery game set in feudal Japan, on kyudo's Way of the Bow. Draw the yumi, breathe out and loose. Read the wind, lob arrows over castle walls, shoot yabusame from a galloping horse and hold the gate against an oni charge, across sixty stages and six rival archers. You begin at the dojo range with a plain bamboo bow and four arrows, and a senior who has never lost on his range. Beyond the dojo the road climbs to marks on high mountain ledges, runs down a riding track at full gallop, and ends at a burning castle and a shrine in the storm, where a dragon waits above it all. DRAW, BREATHE, LOOSE • Pull back to draw and aim with one finger. The aiming arc shows the flight. • Hold through the sway and loose on the exhale for a clean release and more points. • Real bow and arrow shooting: gravity, drag and the wind decide where every arrow lands.
