Gameplay
On a feudal Japanese battlefield, players are tasked with shooting oncoming hordes of ashigaru (足軽) foot soldiers with a swivel-mounted replica of a tanegashima (種子島) matchlock rifle (the weapon is more commonly known as a hinawajū (火縄銃), the kanji for which appears on the cabinet itself.[1]) Enemies approach the player's Japanese castle (城) in diagonal rows, and upon being shot, dramatically emit a digitized scream in an accent most-associated with offensive Asian stereotypes of the time it was made.
The replica matchlock rifle is notable for using built-in recoil to simulate firing an actual weapon.
Scoring
Each successful hit is worth 10 points, and a free game is awarded between 140 and 190 points.
