How it feels

A frantic, brutal co-op brawler where you and your allies carve through enemies with relentless katana strikes in a blood-soaked samurai hellscape.

What players say

Players praise the samurai monkey action and tight combat but warn that the early access launch offers only two bosses and levels, making runs short. Co-op players report camera chaos and a missing unstuck button that forces a health-draining workaround. Reviews split between backing the potential and waiting for more content.
