Samurai Gunn Reviews
An exciting, kinetic single-screen multiplayer with excellent level design, but little to reward the solo player.
Hectic local multiplayer madness ensues in this punkish flurry of colour and violence.
Samurai Gunn's fast-paced combat is a ton of fun, but only if you can round up four friends.
The frenetic Samurai Gunn provides an exciting competitive experience that demands precision and rewards fast fingers and thoughtful strategies.
Samurai Gunn could be a great local multiplayer game with a lot more polish
Samurai Gunn will no doubt have a more limited audience due to a lack of modes, but for those of you who appreciate a deep fighting game, you'll get hours of competitive entertainment out of it. Every time I play it I feel like I've mastered a new piece of the physics engine, or a new nuance to wall-jumping. It's one of those games that keeps on giving years later due to a solid foundation, so long as you have the company to enjoy it with.
Samurai Gunn is a prime example of doing more with less. It doesn't have to be over-complicated to be interesting. The great level design, accompanied by charming 8-bit style artwork, an incredible soundtrack and the fact that you need to be very quick-thinking and account for every centimetre of space, really make this a special game in its genre
Simple to pick up and play, the precise, tension-filled combat is capable of turning friends into bitter rivals.
Samurai Gunn is surprisingly deep and a lot of strategy is mixed in with twitch reflexes, much like a sophisticated fighting game. However, the lack of game modes, serious decrease in enjoyment as a solo game, and some technical issues hold back this otherwise immensely fun game. If you can grab a couple friends and get controllers working, Samurai Gunn can make for an enjoyable night.
Videogame reviews that fail at their description of the sublime often regress into a sort of buyer's guide. They tell you, in short, how far out of your way you should go for the game. But Samurai Gunn inspires just such a decree. If you don't have four controllers, a couch, and three friends yet, Samurai Gunn is a compelling case for making the investment.
