How it feels

A frantic, retro arcade shooter with relentless enemy patterns and dramatic setpieces.

What players say

Players describe Samurai Aces as a very difficult shooter where the ship moves slowly and bullets fly fast, requiring memorization. The port is faithful to the arcade original, with short stages and a second loop that is even harder. Reviews note the characters are varied and the theme is cool, but some players find the difficulty unbalanced.
