Avoid enemies
The game includes 3 types of enemies with different behaviours or skills. The enemies include foxes, red coloured armour and black coloured armour samurai. Foxes have great hearing even asleep. You will need to sneak past them without waking them up or they will alert the samurai. Samurai will follow their patrol routine and watch out for spies. Red dressed samurai are the common enemies that you will have to avoid, they will catch you if they spot you. Black dressed samurai are higher class samurai with better training and skills - they will be able to find you easier than red dressed samurai due to their increased field of view.
