Template:Game-NavTemplate:Minigame infobox Samurai Slice (ゐあひ斬り Wiahikiri) is the eighth game in Rhythm Tengoku. In this game, a middle-aged samurai, the Wandering Samurai, is protecting a town from monsters wearing tengu masks to slice them up. Getting a perfect on this game earns a gift called "Asian Drum" that can be found in the studio.
Gameplay
The player uses the A Button to quickly unsheathe, slice, and re-sheathe their sword in order to cut down enemies moving to the beat of the music. Fog eventually creeps in to obscure the player's vision of the enemies and forces them to use their sense of rhythm to best them. The more times the samurai succeeds in felling his enemies, the more intense his stance and hairstyle become.
