How it feels

A tense samurai duel simulator where every choice carries weight and death is permanent, balanced by dark humor and public-domain art.

What players say

Players praise the silly, unique adventure and beautiful art, but are split on balance: combat is funny yet can feel unfair with random one-shot kills, making careful play feel pointless.
