What Is Samurai Gamers?

Updated

Samurai Gamers is a video game guide site that publishes walkthroughs, tips, wikis, and news, with a stated focus on games from Japan. It is aimed at players who want hands-on help with a specific game — a boss strategy, a collectible checklist, a platform comparison — rather than general gaming commentary. If you play Japanese RPGs, action games, or mobile gacha titles and want a reference page open while you play, this is the kind of site you would check.

What the site covers

The homepage organizes content into three visible buckets: News, Games, and guide sections split by platform. The site describes itself as "your hands-on guide for the games your love to play," and the guide library reflects that with heavy coverage of Japanese-developed series.

News

Short, dated posts tied to a single question players are searching for. Examples from the homepage:

  • "Metaphor: ReFantazio Does Demo Progress Carry Over?"
  • "Persona 5: The Phantom X Japanese First Closed Beta Test Announced"
  • "Dragon's Dogma 2 Can You Swim?"
  • "Dragon's Dogma 2 Is there a Hide Helmet Option?"
  • "Dragon's Dogma 2 Platform Differences: PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S"

These are narrow, answer-first articles rather than long features — useful when you have one specific question and do not want to watch a 20-minute video.

Game guides

The guide library is the core of the site. It is split into several groupings:

Section What it lists Example titles
Upcoming Game Guides Guides for games not yet released Persona 5: The Phantom X
Latest Game Guides Recently added or updated guides Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Persona 3 Reload, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Stellar Blade
Top Game Guides The site's most-visited guides Persona 5 Royal, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Breath of the Wild, Kingdom Hearts 3 Re:Mind, Final Fantasy XV
Mobile / Android / iOS Phone and tablet games Persona 5: The Phantom X, Diablo Immortal, Pokémon Unite, Fate/Grand Order, Brawl Stars
PlayStation 5 Games PS5-specific guide hubs Final Fantasy XVI, Diablo 4, Resident Evil 4 Remake, God of War Ragnarok, Hogwarts Legacy

The PS5 list also reaches back into cross-generation and remaster titles (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, Live A Live Remake, Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song Remastered), so "PS5" here means the guide is written for that version, not that the game is exclusive.

Who it is for

The coverage skews toward players who:

  • Are working through a Japanese RPG or action game and want per-quest or per-boss help.
  • Play mobile gacha or live-service titles and need event or character information.
  • Want a quick factual answer (does progress carry over, is there a hide-helmet option) instead of a full review.

If you mainly play Western shooters, sports titles, or sandbox games outside the Japanese-publisher sphere, the guide library will have thinner coverage for you.

How to use it

  1. Start from the homepage and pick the platform or category closest to your game (for example, PlayStation 5 Games or Mobile / Android / iOS).
  2. Open the game's guide hub, then drill into the specific topic — story chapter, boss, collectible, or system question.
  3. For time-sensitive questions (demo saves, beta tests, platform differences), check the News column, since those posts are dated and tied to a release window.

One caveat worth knowing: dated news posts reflect the situation at publication. For anything that can change after launch — save transfers, beta access, patch behavior — confirm against the game itself or an official channel before relying on it.
