Community Insight:
Love the game but theres to many ads every time we complete a mission and we Tap to continue an ad starts to play love the game but just to many ads.
Keeps on lagging and closing the app, got a chest and then rare weapon but lagged out and lost the weapon… Also you cant use the option to unlock a random special weapon or shield. Still pretty fun tho. Just wish it wasnt laggy on every level.
This game changed 3 times in the past week. When we first got this game, it was a click and attack style. A bar would pop up showing when to attack, you would guard with your sword and there were no upgrades. The second update added Upgrades and power ups like the most games and this made it fun to grind and gain power. Now the third update changed it. You no longer block with your sword but instead your shield. The upgrades were removed too. This game has changed so much in the last week and doesnt feel like a samurai game anymore.
The app is pretty good, but it has some movesets that look similar to another game. cough Nioh cough.
The attack bar is hidden so we cant tell when to swing.
Game has a vast amount of potential but with vast repetitiveness and not enough content its just going to be a short lived game.
This game is fun and we wouldn't mind throwing some time into it if it had a few updates, but right now not so much. The game has a lot of potential we think, maybe after a few updates advertise it again. Some update ideas would be… To change either samurai's skin (the outfit), instead of randomly changing landscapes maybe change every 5-10 levels, and make the game get more difficult, we haven't played much but after level 10 it seems like we just start back at level 1 and make our way up again, also make it to where we have to block more than one slice, it's fairly easy to block, and maybe different winning emotes and losing emotes (the winning emote is quite strange.) But thats just some suggestions, the game is fun but too repetitive at this point to keep us playing.
We feel like the game resets every 10 levels. We would to have more difficulty into in as it is it is pretty easy but it does have potential to be a good mobile tap game. We like how it takes itself seriously but then the dance just turns that off.
