Take a look at our Katana Kami: A Way of the Samurai Story Cheats and Tips to get help in this top-down dungeon crawler RPG and the second spin-off of the Way of the Samurai series. The game is available on PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC.
Katana Kami: A Way of the Samurai Story Cheats and Tips
In Katana Kami: A Way of the Samurai Story you go back in time and play a ronin called Dojima during Japan's Meiji Restoration era in the volatile Rokkotsu Pass. The objective of the game is not to reach the end of the dungeon, but to raise the money to pay off the abductors who have taken Dojima's daughter. During the game, you will encounter three powerful factions (the Post Town Ronin, Akadama Clan, and Kurofu Family) who all vie for dominance of Rokkotsu Pass.
- Level Up your Weapons by Destroying Vending Machines
Make sure you destroy the vending machines whenever you come across them as doing so will enable you to level up your weapons faster as there is always the possibility that they will drop a small reward.
- How to Defeat the Death God
The Death God is a powerful enemy that will spawn if you let your vitality drop to zero and kill you in seconds. Unless you have invincibility medicine available you will need to parry the Death God to defeat him. If you do manage to overcome the Death God you will get one of his weapons and something else rare as a reward.
- How to Sharpen Your Sword During Fights
Keep in mind you can sharpen your sword during combat if you become worried that it will break. To do so you simply have to use a sharpening block that is nearby. When you access the sharpening block the game will pause allowing you to repair your sword before returning to continue your battle.
- How to get Secret Items
When you hit an enemy with a sea cucumber it will cause them to drop items you otherwise wouldn't get. Experiment on different enemies to find secret items.
- Order you Can't Fulfill
If you come across an order that you can't fulfill, you can send them garbage or fake swords to get it out of your order book, freeing up the slot for a new order that might be easier. Keep in mind that doing this comes with the cost of a rep hit.
We also have a Walkthrough and Guide which you can use as a guide if you find yourself struggling with any part of the game.

Got a cheat or hot tip for this game? Found a secret, or a strategy for success?
Enhance your Sword
Pick one sword as your main and enhance it as high as you can. You will be able to enhance your sword early in the game and it is recommended you begin by enhancing it's sharpness in order to kill enemies faster. The amount of times you can enhance your sword is determined by how many materials you have obtained. As the dungeon is procedural it will vary from run to run.
Destroy Vending Machines to Level Up your Weapons
You can hit Vending Machines wherever you find them to level up your weapons fast. If you totally destroy the Vending Machine there is a possibility it will drop you a small reward.
How to Convert Vitality to Health
If you sheath your sword the game will convert vitality from your yellow bar to the green health bar. If you use a mushroom while full health the mushroom will increase your maximum health. Your sheathed sword will then take vitality to fill your health bar back to full again. You can repeat this loop for as many mushrooms you have in your in inventry and your entire playthrough in the dungeon. If you do this for every mushroom you find in the dungeon your health bar will become huge.
Keep Dojima from getting Stressed
To keep Dojima from getting stressed you need to talk to him and give him stuff he likes. Look at the bottom of the screen to see the effect of the item you are going to give him. Never give him anything that has a red negative effect. He likes mushrooms and daikons, keep giving him as many of these as possible to get blue effects.
How to Defeat the Death God
If you let your vitality drop to zero the Death God will spawn, he is the most powerful enemy in the game and can kill you in seconds. Unless you have invincibility medicine available you will need to parry him to defeat him. The Death God carries special gear and if you do manage to kill him you can expect to get one of his weapons and maybe something else rare as a reward.
Repair Broken Swords
If your sword breaks it will be useless until you find a sword with the exact same name that you can use to repair it. If you constantly use sharpening blocks you will not need to worry. If your sword is near to breaking and you are not near a sharpening block it is recommended that you switch it out for one of your other swords and use that instead.
Discard Lower Quality Items
Your item bag will fill up fast, take the time to dicard items that are of a lower quality or lower coin value than what you have found on laying the ground. Always discard swords and items to create the space to pick up better versions. You want the best sword you can get for transfering to you inventory and the best items to sell for coins later.
Destroy Vending Machines to Level Up your Weapons
You can hit vending machines wherever you find them to level up your weapons fast. If you totally destroy the vending machine there is always the possibility they may drop you a small reward.
How to Sharpen your Sword During Fights
If you are in the middle of a fight and worried about breaking your sword and there is a sharpening block nearby you can still use it. When you access the sharpening block it will pause the game allowing you to repair your sword before gettng back into the action.
Sharpen your Sword
Swords wear down with use, make sure you keep your eye on the sword shaped bar at the bottom of the screen. If the bar runs out the sword will break. Look for sharpening blocks in each level to prevent that from happening. Use swords picked up from enemies to repair your own. You can also find whetstones to sharpen your swords but it is recommended that you sell those for coins as the sharpening blocks do the same thing.
Quick money and materials early on
Go into Jikai to find a good 4-6 star weapon, or a few weapons, return to Dojima and item dupe them when you use the order list. Transfer the weapon you want to use from the stock to the order list, then on the order list press R1+X at the same time, you will hear a slightly louder noise than just switching screens if you did it right. Now switch back to the order list, there should be two of the exact same weapon, send one back to your stock, now press R1+X over and over again to dupe into both lists, return to stock and transfer all duped items back to the order list or you will lose out on potential money, the game doesn't like to dupe items the normal way so we are stuck having to give dupes to 3 factions and wait for them to die, any dupes in stock when you send an order will automa..
