How it feels

A bizarre, high-speed slide-and-slash arcade game where you fling a slippery lotion samurai through levels with awkward momentum and split-second timing.

What players say

Players describe it as a fast, silly action game where you slide around as a lubed-up Oda Nobunaga. The campaign is short, around an hour, and the difficulty spikes later, with deaths adding a time penalty that some find annoying. Fans of the first game are split: some appreciate the polish and challenge, while others miss the original's more carefree tone.
