Sick Samurai
Sick Samurai is a blindingly fast and bloody action game based on instant-death combat and razor-sharp reflexes. Immerse yourself in lofi hip hop and retro anime aesthetics as you slash and dash your way to becoming the greatest fighter on the island.
- Sick Combat: Slash and dash through opponents at incredible speeds. Wield secondary weapons – like the kunai and stun bombs – and kick objects at enemies to shift the odds in your favor. When the time is right, unleash the Girameki technique. Blink and you'll die.
- Sick Strategies: Every level is hand-crafted and offers multiple paths and strategies. Customize your approach with upgrades and items as you face increasingly challenging opponents.
- Sick Storytelling: Build relationships through fully voiced dialogue with unique characters like Genyu, the infamous ex-samurai who's taken you under his wing, and Jones, a "former" gangster turned proprietor of a jazz bar.
- Sick Aesthetics: An original lofi soundtrack infused with elements of hip hop, jazz, funk, soul, and more, and hand-drawn, retro anime-style art, will leave you feeling like you're smoking a cigarette on a rainy night in the late '90s.
