Overview

• Players can switch modes in Settings > Display by scrolling past Graphics Mode to choose among three cinematic presentations.
• Kurosawa Mode delivers an estate-approved black-and-white jidaigeki look with film grain, vintage audio crackle, heightened wind, and flying debris.
• Watanabe Mode replaces the score with a dynamic lo-fi hip-hop soundtrack that shifts with exploration and combat while preserving voices and sound effects.
• Miike Mode tightens the camera, thickens blood and grime, and displays an in-game warning that large encounters become harder due to reduced peripheral visibility.
• FandomWire’s hands-on ranks Miike Mode as the strongest fit for the revenge narrative, calling Kurosawa visually striking but familiar and Watanabe tonally at odds.
