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
- Start from the homepage and pick the platform or category closest to your game (for example, PlayStation 5 Games or Mobile / Android / iOS).
- Open the game's guide hub, then drill into the specific topic — story chapter, boss, collectible, or system question.
- 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.
