Description:

Published by sony.
In the game, the player is a samurai named Jin Sakai who is on a mission to protect the island of Tsushima from the Mongol people. Jin must choose between following the warrior code to fight honorably, or using practical but dishonorable methods of repelling the Mongols with minimal casualties. The game itself is based on real historical events such as the Mongol invasion of Japan in which the island of Tsushima was occupied by the Yuan invasion force. In the game the mongols were led by kahotun khan but in reality it was kublai khan. overall, events are dramatized and timelines were also slightly altered to keep the game interesting. The island is replicated quite similarly but not a one-to-one replica as the terrain of the island is uneven which wouldn’t translate well to an open-world-game. In addition, one of the important events in the game takes place in the mountain top fortress of Kaneda Castle. In the game, it’s a fortified stronghold, but in reality, in 1274 Kaneda was no longer in use.
