  8.0

  An exciting, kinetic single-screen multiplayer with excellent level design, but little to reward the solo player

  8.0

  Samurai Gunn delivers a kind of competitive action rarely seen, capable of eliciting cries of "one more game." It could offer a few more options, but the quantity of content and quality in its design will provide for many a long night of couch multiplayer and intense rivalries.

  ...It condenses organic, balletic setpieces worthy of an action flick finale into mere seconds, the ground filling up with the bloodied pixel remains of the fallen.

  Samurai Gunn is an excellent example of how games can do more with less. Its combat is deceptively simple, there are no character advantages, and the tight, dangerous environments each feel unique. However, the lack of an online multiplayer mode will likely keep it relegated to “great party game” status. One warrior is simply not enough.

  Samurai Gunn's gameplay values precision, but that same value hasn't carried over to its overall production. It feels every bit like a work-in-progress. A fighting game has to be pixel perfect to successfully reward patience and strategy. Samurai Gunn just isn't there yet.

  The battles are all that matter, letting you focus entirely on the exciting conquests. When you play with a trio of like-minded friends, everything comes together in such an enticing way that you scream and laugh and taunt and growl until you have to pull away to do other life duties. Samurai Gunn makes excellent use of its simple nature to keep you invested in the bloody life born warrior.

  8.0

  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.

  8.0

  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.

  On top of that - and this bit, I think, is really lovely - if you check out the game's forums, you'll see strangers are already arranging meet-ups to play the game in person. Y'know, IRL. Anyone in Brooklyn - it's always Brooklyn - fancy a game tonight?

  Samurai Gunn se ha convertido en una de las sorpresas indie más agradables de este último tercio del año. Lo frenético de su acción, lo alocado y divertido de las batallas que propone y, claro está, los piques que genera entre amigos son la excusa suficiente para hacerse con él. Cierto es que se echan de menos más contenidos jugables y un multijugador en línea, pero si sabemos de antemano que no nos van a faltar compañeros de batalla, es una compra muy recomendable.
