How it feels

Playing as an aging samurai, you explore colorful, pixelated feudal Japan biomes, fighting yokai with simple platforming and swordplay in a modest action-RPG adventure.

What players say

Players say Samurai Kento is a short, lighthearted game that is easy to beat but feels fair for the price. The music and pixel art are praised, though some note the bosses share similar designs with different attack patterns.
