How it feels

A lightning-fast arcade platformer that demands flawless precision and memorization, with no safety nets, only skill against a relentless gauntlet of demons and traps.

What players say

Players call this a short, authentic retro samurai game styled after Commodore 64 and NES titles, with tough but fair arcade difficulty and no checkpoints. Some compare it to Sekiro as an NES game or to Kenseiden, and opinions split on whether the stiff controls are nostalgic or clunky.
