Critic reviews
- The Escapist8.0Samurai Gunn delivers a kind of competitive action rarely seen, capable of eliciting cries of "one more game." It could offer a few more options, but the quantity of content and quality in its design will provide for many a long night of couch multiplayer and intense rivalries.
- Edge8.0...It condenses organic, balletic setpieces worthy of an action flick finale into mere seconds, the ground filling up with the bloodied pixel remains of the fallen.
- IGN8.3Samurai Gunn is an excellent example of how games can do more with less. Its combat is deceptively simple, there are no character advantages, and the tight, dangerous environments each feel unique. However, the lack of an online multiplayer mode will likely keep it relegated to “great party game” status. One warrior is simply not enough.
- Polygon6.5Samurai Gunn's gameplay values precision, but that same value hasn't carried over to its overall production. It feels every bit like a work-in-progress. A fighting game has to be pixel perfect to successfully reward patience and strategy. Samurai Gunn just isn't there yet.
- GameSpot8.0The battles are all that matter, letting you focus entirely on the exciting conquests. When you play with a trio of like-minded friends, everything comes together in such an enticing way that you scream and laugh and taunt and growl until you have to pull away to do other life duties. Samurai Gunn makes excellent use of its simple nature to keep you invested in the bloody life born warrior.
