Samurai Archery: questions
Before you play
How do I shoot?
Pull back with one finger to draw and aim; the arc shows where the arrow will fly. The bow sways as you breathe, so hold steady and release on the exhale.
Do wind and distance really matter?
Yes. Every arrow flies under real gravity, drag and wind, so on a long shot you'll read the wind before you loose.
What if I keep failing a stage?
Lose a stage twice and the next attempt eases off a little: a calmer wind, more time. The daily stage never eases, so that's where you prove yourself.
Who will I compete against?
Six rival archers: Kenta the dojo senior, Master Ishida, the Hermit, Tadamori the festival champion, the Oni Captain and the Guardian. You take turns at the same targets, and you pass by beating their total.
What can I unlock without paying?
Twenty-two pieces along the road: six bows, eleven fletchings and five outfits. Each bow handles differently, with a steadier hold or less drift in the wind, for example.
