- New Boss Rush mode:
-- Infernal Trio - Fight 3 random bosses in a row on one life.
-- Penta Pain - Run the gauntlet against 5 random bosses.
-- The Nine of Aku - Take on every boss in the game back to back. Each one is harder than the last.
Here are some screenshots of the game.
I have beaten the game one time and have started playing through the missions again. I love samurai Jack in this game pays homage to him perfectly. I like this game reminds me of the old school hack and slash games there’s nothing really new here but they did a terrific job. It did make my phone run a little hot while playing but that’s kind of to be expected with the graphics as good as they are. I played the majority of the game with a PS4 controller and only had minor issues with input lag. The few times that I did play with touch controls I did not like them but I normally do not like touch controls. I wanna know if you’re looking for a good hack and slash or you wanna see a continuation of samurai Jack story and you just need to play this game it’s worth the price of admission to Apple Arcade.
I beat the game on all difficulty settings starting from Hard to the next unlocked Harder difficulty, then went back and beat it on Normal and Easy. I have every skill upgrade, every weapon upgrade. Did a few of the challenges but it’s so repetitive I just stopped playing. Also I unlocked the ability to switch outfits but there is no other outfit option, I looked it up, on console there are two outfits which are the only two you wear in the story but, I can’t switch it stays at “Default” no matter how many times I try to tick left or right, yes im on the main menu trying. Other than all of that, games was funny and kinda funny to me. Great game just extremely short. I know it’s a port but Adult Swim could have done way better. Still fun game until you beat it so many times.
So remember when Jack went to Africa? Can you add 2 weapons from that episode? The staff that has the strong wood and the spinning saw thing that the invaders used. Can you also make it so you can play as kid Jack in these ideas for levels: Egypt, Africa, and the kingdom Jack grew up in. These can be open world like Genshin Impact where you can explore and fight enemies and even make friends and allies. I hope you hear this out and add this, it would hit us with nostalgia. Though I was born before season 5 started and after season 4 ended, I would still think this would be a great idea. Ps: We would show gratitude for a joke about a skin of the professor from powerpuff girls on Jack for endless mode. I beg you guys. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 please and thank you.
The only reason I was willing to try Apple Arcade was because I saw this game on here! Sam Jack is frickin’ awesome and this game almost tells exactly why! (almost because if you play the game and don’t get why and haven’t watched the series then obviously you need to watch the show because it’s the best cartoon EVER!! (..well except for The Simpsons of course)) So if you don’t have Apple Arcade get it NOW because it’s definitely worth it - there are a ton of amazing games to play besides this one however this one is the best so far. Note to game developers: for Missions - maybe you could add in a quick restart or retry button or something because it’s super frustrating to start a “take no damage” mission mess up and have to go all the way back to the main menu to restart the mission
Apple Arcade is an extremely interesting business model. Some of the highest quality apps on the store are released here. The best example of this is Samurai Jack. With it being released for $40 on every game console, it gets shadow dropped on here. With very few differences, except for some graphical downgrades, you wouldn’t believe a game like this would be released on an phone even 5 years ago. I can’t tell you that this game is worth it on other consoles, since I haven’t played it, but I can say you should definitely give it a try on here. If you don’t feel inclined enough to play it yet, the gameplay is top notch for a beat em up. The art direction also fits right in with the show. I could go on, but I want to get back to exploring this stylish world of Samurai Jack.
This is one of the very few games on this scam subscription service that almost makes you feel like money well spent. It plays amazingly close to the PS4 version on anything with the A13 or newer, with a controller. The on-screen buttons are a bit too busy and hard to get right when in the heat of the action. Overall though, if you grew up watching Samurai Jack as I did this game and it’s story will definitely give you that nostalgia feeling. The moments when you’re about done and seeing Jack’s hair down, you know stuff is about to get real. Aside from the busy on-screen controls there do seem to be a few bugs that randomly pop up and I understand there’s several chips and resolutions to support as well as iOS versions but it does feel like a lack of overall polish the console versions enjoy. It also is quick to cause your phone/tablet/laptop to get real warm real quick. ***really wish Apple engineers would follow other manufacturers with heat dissipation techniques if they intend for users to game using these mobile devices…hint Apple. Hint***
Overall great graphics, decent sound and great shalshing gameplay. The controller support is great, I play on my tv with an xbox contreoller mostly. Although not quite 5 stars, the bugs could be more fixed. I see in the revesion history that the bugs are getting fixed more and more each month. It woks great on my M1 maxed out late 2020 Macbook Pro. Although sometimes the graphics can be a little delayed, I tested the game at diffren settigs and my mac can well handle the maxed out settings, the game tends to lagw ith autosave and big boss fights. That might just be a bugging thing they will hopefully soon fix. I am an hour into the gamne and so far so good!
The camera controls arent jist bad, theyre absolutely BROKEN. I cant finish this game, let alone go for the chests. In the thrid level near the beginnimg there are two chests, one you chop a tree to get to and then you jump pver a gap to get to the other one... easy stuff... except once you go over the gap the camera swings behind the character completely destroying the path I was taking and cauaing me to fall. It is NOT POSSIBLE and Its because the camera is simply BUGGED. In combat the camera will bug out and fling all over the place, which makes combos nearly impossible and I take a ton of damage. Im struggling to play this even on easy because of how broken the camera is. If I could actually SEE what youbwere doing, the game would be great. It plays like a game on the gamecube or ps2 would play. Its feels so nostalgic and honestly fun, I just wish I could see what I was doing...
I’ve been a fan of Samurai Jack since I was a kid. I saw the game and looked through the pictures and decided it would be worth a download. Currently I’m about 2 hours in. The game is neat, it has this real rpg feel that follows around our hero Jack. You can equip new weapons, upgrade skills, and perform awesome combos. The game itself is fun to play with almost no issues. I do have problems with it heating up my device and the frames drop to like 20 when insane things happen. I will say that the game should eventually include a multiplayer option that allows you to just fight people online in an arena or else I see it being a one time play through.
I’ve been watching samurai Jack since I was a kid and this video game just feels like I was just about six years old watching it but now as soon as they created a video game and open world RPG game it’s been a blast. When I was young I couldn’t even afford a PS2 and I wanted to play samurai Jack but now as soon as I have a smart phone I could just take it out my pocket and play samurai Jack .The graphics are really really good and the game play and story line are astonishing !!! Especially there’s a little romance in the video game and it’s the villains daughter it’s almost like Romeo and Juliet! I would recommend this game to anyone !
Begin as Samurai Jack in a tutorial level that introduces basic combat mechanics. Learn to wield your katana and dodge enemy attacks. Progress through the first time portal to face Aku’s minions in a dark future, collecting resources to upgrade your skills.
Encounter iconic bosses like The Scotsman or Scaramouche. Each boss requires unique strategies—study their patterns and use your trained skills to defeat them. The Boss Rush mode, added in version 1.6, lets you face multiple bosses back-to-back.
Master over a dozen weapons, from katanas to spears, each with unique combos. Switch weapons mid-battle to adapt to enemy types. Train in the dojo to unlock skills that enhance your playstyle, such as increased attack speed or defensive counters.
Travel through iconic series locations, like futuristic cities or ancient temples. Collect hidden items to boost your stats and uncover story easter eggs. Time portals connect levels, blending platforming and puzzle-solving with intense combat.
