Aki Masamune Fights Through a Cursed Village and a String of Bosses to Reach the City of Pang

ASTARS PRODUCTION — Aki Masamune of AStars production’s first generation reached the city of Pang on Thursday night, finishing a boss fight that opened the way to the place his character has been looking for since the first part of the story. It was the third episode of his series on the Lu clan village, a martial-arts action game, and the broadcast ran about five hours and twenty minutes.

He began on the game’s third map, a village where he had just raised his sword to level 10. He weighed spending upgrades on a giant dark axe or a chain sickle before heading off through the village. Along the way he cleared haunted puppets and hunted for hidden boxes and bells, and followed the story’s trail to a set of captive martial-arts masters whose bodies he was told to find in the village.

“I really love this sword. It’s long and it cuts from far away... golden dual blades, that is so cool.” — Aki Masamune, on the weapon he picked up at the end

The village did not make it easy. Around the two-hour mark he pulled a talisman off a wall despite the old warning against it, and a ghost hit him for it. Later he fought a long run of enemies, including a boss that changed up its attacks in a second phase.

By the end he said he had liked every boss in this section and singled out the boss music as excellent. After the last fight he swapped in a new weapon and called it a favorite, then said it was past 1 a.m. and he would stop there, having played since 8 p.m. He said he would be back next week.

Chat cheered the new weapon and wished him a good rest as he signed off.
