How it feels

A deliberate duel game where you must time each katana strike and parry precisely against a series of pixelated samurai bosses.

What players say

Players praise the tight parry-focused combat and compare it to Sekiro, but the game is very short, most finish in under an hour. Opinions split on difficulty: some find it punishing, while others appreciate the easy mode.
