    Good game with lots of action, however still a lot of major flaws:
    - This is personal preference but I preferred the original screen swiping motions, it was more creative; the simply virtual joystick controls turns it into another unoriginal hack-and-slash like Hero of Sparta
    - Limited enemy types
    - Major sound bug in chapter 6 with the pendulum saws. A few minutes into the level the background music would disappear and all your would hear is the very annoying sawing sound looping endlessly, and since there are no sound options in this game I had to mute my device
    - Major lag in chapter 6, controls unresponsive and sometimes dash/rolls would not work; it's similar to online games where you see your character moving but he still stays in the same spot, then a few seconds later he "teleports" to where he's supposed to move to
    The game is definitely much more challenging than Samurai 1, especially chapter 6 where almost all enemies are immune to flinching, it basically turns into a hit-and-run tactic that renders all combos completely useless (since enemies hit you if you attack them too long).

    What enemies are immune to flinching? I've played through normal and hard and I don't recall any enemy that have 'super armor'. I think your trying to attack an enemy who already started their attack animation. That's a no no in this game.

    Check out my guide if you have more troubles.

    And people that view it (200+ of you >.>), give some feedback/ requests please. I'm planning to write about strategies on how to do well on leaderboards (when they become not broken).



    BTW: Madfinger. Can you explain what determines "Enemy Kills" score? It changes on repeat play, which is weird because I assume each level has a set amount of enemies so shouldn't that score be constant?

    I'm curious with what changed with Orochi fight. Still don't get my Hard difficulty achievement >.>"

    And my chapters are all still locked.

    I guess I'll play through this again someday.

    btw, I asked Apple for priority review and they were so kind and approve it fast... We didi it mainly because end of chapter crash and we included as many as possible fixes.

    Please wait for next patch with other problems ( and please report them here, so we could fix them)


    Anyway, if you are happy with update, please update your reviews on iTunes

    Thank you

    Great game.

    Two suggestions:

    1) The next instalment - can it be longer please?

    2) A block button. Would be interesting to have this and also initiate counter moves.

    stuck on the final boss for 2~3 days now, I start my game as normal, coz the final boss I restart it as easy, but still it is way to hard to kill....

    the only combo I used here is
    R = roll

    R R R R R R X R R R R R R R R ... R R X R R R... R R R R (*almost forget I'm playing samurai but sonic 4*)

    forget all those bullshit combos there, it won't work well in that hard situation... I knew I can cut him from the back, but the archers just drive me nuts

    I need super easy level please. any tips for the final boss will be appreciate

    What? :confused: You must be doing something very wrong.

    Just look at post #248 by ChickDigger. It clearly tells you how to defeat him.

    I just watched "The Last Samurai". Great film. It's got me in the mood for playing this game again :)

    Really enjoying this game and loving the new controls. The only thing i miss is the side step slash in the first samurai game :p.
    I was wondering whether you could implement a video capturing feature after each fight. I'm not sure if it's possible or not but i think it's a cool idea ;)

    Anyone got a trick on getting through this part in Ch 6? I, for one, am dumbfounded.

    roll up right than down. lol the only time I died on that level was because of that dumb puzzle =(


    btw: unless there is something awesome to exploit or someone is definitely hacking their way to the top of the leaderboards =/
