As she battles her means by the underworld, our younger maiden will mastery the traditional artwork of the samurai, defeating ungodly creatures on her journey to return to her personal time.

Regardless of the general cheesiness of the characters and setup, I’ve to confess that I feel Samurai Maiden appears fairly sharp (pun totally meant). I’m digging the super-colorful places, the crazy-creepy enemy design, and the slick-looking fight. The visible results additionally aren’t to be sniffed at. The motion seems to maneuver each easily and with precision, and general it appears prefer it may very well be a enjoyable, low-key, technique to spend a lazy weekend… Even should you do gotta roll your eyes somewhat on the sport’s “kiss different women to energy up” mechanic.

I imply, that’s by no means labored for me, and I’ve tried it over 3 times in my life.
