What players say
Players praise the branching story with multiple endings and the samurai setting, but the game is held back by repetitive enemies, crashes, and a lack of online co-op. Some find the controls clunky and the enemy AI cheap, while others enjoy the old-school feel and soundtrack. The game is best played in local co-op.
