These means refer to magical stones called the Amahagane which bring supernatural powers (called the Kamui) to the wearers.
The hero of this saga is a young man called Yoshitsune, a samurai who also possesses an Amahagane.
The game starts when young Yoshitsune is attacked by the Heishi as they are searching for other Amahagane stones.
The fate of the world depends on those who controls these magical stones and at that moment, the Heishi seem invincible as they posses most Amahagane.
Later in the story, the player acquire a second hero, the giant warrior monk Benkei, who also owns an Amahagane.
The story then revolves around the struggles of these two unlikely heroes against the tyranny of the Heishi clan.
Gameplay is standard click-and-slash action.
The player may either control Yoshitsune or Benkei in alternating turns.
The unique side of this game is the use of the Amahagane, enabling the player unleash powerful blows at the enemy, particularly useful against multiple foes.
The more powerful the Amahagane, the slower enemies become when the Amahagane is activated.
Timing is of the essence as the player must attack at the exact moment indicated by the game or the move will fail.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Genji for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Genji to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2005.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
