How it feels
A pixel art top-down action game where you swing your katana with the right stick, exploring a sprawling feudal Japanese palace and its gardens while fighting numerous enemies.

What players say
Players describe this as a top-down samurai action game with a unique right-stick sword control that feels original but clunky. Combat is impactful and punishing, with two hits often killing the player, but there are no upgrades or music. Reviews split on whether the clunky controls are a flaw or part of the challenge.
