I really wanted to like this game.

Samurai: Way of the Warrior is a beautiful iphone game with the depth of a kiddie pool. I will admit I knew that going in... and while trying to play the game I did not mind the lack of depth. The controls are terrible... the idea is novel taking a page from games like Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword on the DS and having you swipe in different directions to take on enemies and execute combos but what is on offer here is a sluggish/inconsistent input system that in later levels sees you being taken down over and over again because the interface simply doesn't allow you to keep up. It also doesn't help that around the 4th stage enemies become so fast that their attack telegraphs become almost unusable as dodge indicators. In addition to a lack of input speed, the combos are inconsistent and from what I can tell the 'instant death' moves are random. You may might hack and slash at a single enemy over and over again to take him down while the one right next to him will be taken down in one hit. All said I cannot recommend this game, it could be fun with a little more polish but as it stands now Samurai is a hollow core loop experience with sloppy (poorly documented?) controls. Since there is now a Samurai 2 on the app store Mad Finger revisiting this app for polish seems unlikely.
Idea win, execution fail

The idea of giving the game play a different twist was a good one, but it's done poorly here. Trying to get the controls to differentiate movement from attacking, especially amidst many enemies, is aggravating beyond belief.

The controls are incredibly unresponsive, and the is extremely repetitive. The comic book style cutscenes are well done, but the story isn't that interesting. There is no help that tells you how to play, and the gamecenter achievements are not all that exciting. It is satisfying when you get to slice an enemy in half, but that is rare because of the horrible controls.
4 1/2 stars

I give it 4 1/2 stars. It is a great game, love everything about it. It loses half of a star because it's too short of a game. Definitely worth the .99 I spent on it and well worth the 2.99 it was priced at. Buy it at .99 while you still can!

The game is ok. The story is cool, and its told in a comic book style with original art, which actually lloks pretty good. The fighting can sometimes be annoying though. Sometimes i try to do combos but they dont come out, and you fight so many people at once. Eventually it gets frustrating it just gets a little to difficult.
Friggin Dope!

Love the game! Finished the game on all levels and I still play it on Executioner for fun... My only complaint is the slow controler reaction/freezing that happens. Give us a sequel and improve the control time. Overall awesome game for free(at least when I got it :) lol
