How it plays

Work on top. War underneath.

The game runs as a thin strip above the Windows taskbar. Your clan marches, fights and loots on its own while your browser, editor or call stays on top.

Samurai Task ForceLive build
  1. Combat

    Auto-combat handles the march. Fire Ki attacks and healing waves when the clan needs them.

  2. Equipment

    Compare recovered weapons and armor, upgrade them or break them down in the dojo.

  3. Bosses

    Eight waves, then the boss. Five bosses stand between you and Shogun rank.

Quick answers

Frequently asked

All answers
Is the shop pay-to-win?

No. Cosmetics change no combat stats; hero packs offer sideways options with the same class values.

Does the game run offline?

Combat and progression run locally. Online features need a connection.

Where do I buy a pack?

Here on the website with your Katana Inu account, or in the Shop inside the Windows game. Both use the same account, so the pack shows up in the game either way.

Free on Windows
