Falling Limbs
Steam
Falling Limbs is a rogelite action deduction game, centred around physics-based samurai battles. Your quest for vengeance is not limited by life or time, only knowledge.

The way of the samurai is found in death
- Yamamoto Tsunetomo
As the last surviving member of your clan, you will call upon your newfound powers to raise samurai warriors and control them on the battlefields of Japan’s warring states period. By shaping the flow of war and guiding different leaders to victory, you will learn clues to the identity of the shape-shifting sorceress responsible for the destruction of your family.
The river’s flow is ceaseless, yet none of the water is the same
- Kamo no Chōmei
It may be that your fighting thralls fall and battle goes against you, but time is no barrier to revenge. Guess the wrong lord and you will reset the board to begin moving the pieces anew, still armed with the knowledge gained in the previous run. There are always more samurai to raise.

You must understand that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain
- Miyamoto Musashi
Engage with real historical power-players of the time in your journey toward vengeance: Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin and many more. Each lord has traits, characteristics and opinions that you will uncover and use to deduce your foe’s identity.
The warrior’s weapons are the extension of his body
- Tsunetomo Yamamoto
Fight with a range of weapons from the age of the samurai and of the legends of its heroes. Falling Limbs has something for every school of training, from katanas, spears and clubs to bows, matchlocks and even a devastating cannon.

Throughout your life advance daily, becoming more skillful than yesterday, more skillful than today. This is never-ending
- Tsunetomo Yamamoto
The new twin-stick control scheme gives you complete control over your combat technique, with every weapon featuring stances and attacks from its traditional school of training. Aim with deadly accuracy, block with calculated restraint, slice with unrelenting precision.

For a samurai, to be indifferent to his attire is to show disrespect for the people who see him. A noble appearance and demeanor have the power to command respect and awe
- Daidōji Yūzan
Customize your warrior’s armor type, pattern and color to bring your own style to the battlefield, with trillions of possible combinations. Find new pieces for your collection as you fight through Japan and keep your favourite combinations on display in the armor room.

An arrow snaps with ease when it is one; bind it with another and it will not break. Take this to heart and be of one mind
- Mōri Motonari
Bring a friend to the fight and unearth the story together with local co-op mode. Of course allies quickly turned to enemies in the time of warring states; versus battles can also be fought across the stages of the sengoku jidai.
