Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief is a highly idiosyncratic stealth-action title that feels like a preserved artifact from an earlier era of game design, for better and for worse. Developed by ACQUIRE Corp. and published by NIS America, Inc., the game is essentially a modern re-release of a cult PlayStation 2 title, and it wears its age openly. Rather than attempting to modernize itself with extensive mechanical overhauls

Description
On the streets of Mikado, only the tough survive. For one man, a heist gone wrong would change his life forever.
Set during the Edo period of Japan, Kamiwaza stars amateur thief Ebizo, who aspires to steal from the rich and give to the poor. During his first stint, however, he and his mentor, Ainosuke, witness their own men take the lives of innocent civilians. Disillusioned by the horrific display of violence, Ainosuke advises Ebizo to escape with the only survivor—a lone girl.
A decade later, Ebizo has held fast to his morals, living an honest and fulfilling life with Suzuna, the young girl he took in as his own daughter. But the illusion of security is shattered once Suzuna falls ill. In order to buy the medicine she desperately needs, Ebizo is faced with a heavy financial burden. Conflicted, Ebizo is forced to return to the underbelly of Mikado, but vows only to steal for the sake of those less fortunate.
Will you walk the path of honor, even as a thief? The choice is yours to make.
Family First: What lengths would you go to for those you hold dear? Familial bonds will be put to the test in this uniquely heartwarming tale.

User reviews
A weird game where you run up to the opponent and break dance in front of their face to perform a suteki stealth, then suteki steal everything around to gain suteki points. Then you spend those suteki points to learn additional suteki moves. It deserves a suteki remake.
Cool game in the vein of Way of the Samurai and Shinobi-Do. A few little annoyances keep it from being truly great, but worth playing as there really is nothing like it.
