It needs an update to fix many bugs and to modernize as it can support an iOS as old as 3.1.3. Please update soon. ### 4/5 — Huuh *2013-07-23, version 1.1* This game is great, but it should be longer and u should be able to try again if u die ### 5/5 — Gotta love gore! *2013-07-03, version 1.1* This game is awesome! The graphics are very good, the gameplay is smooth, and the blood is plentiful. Get it! 😝 ### 5/5 — Very good game *2013-05-30, version 1.1* I saw this game while playing another one of mad finger games dead trigger had a banner in one of the stadiums fights. The slicing and dicing of this game is awesome very fluid movements and slow motion action is awesome! The ### 5/5 — Great *2013-04-03, version 1.1* Fantastic game. Would enjoy longer levels, like a story. Great game for free though. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2013-02-02, version 1.1* Thank you for giving me something to slash. :D ### 5/5 — Samuria dojo 2 *2013-01-03, version 1.1* This game is awesome but I wish you can keep the money that you earn ### 5/5 — i put 5, wish I could put 10 *2012-12-13, version 1.1* Outstanding!!! ### 5/5 — Very addicting *2012-11-11, version 1.1* Couldn't put it down since I downloaded it, took only like an hour and a half to unlock everything but it's still very fun to play ### 5/5 — Fun *2012-07-10, version 1.1* This game is a great hack'n'slash game, it has an art style similar to okami and makes one feel awesome by slowing down on kills in which you bifurcate your enemies ### 5/5 — Great *2012-05-23, version 1.1* This is a great game just a few bugs and I've made it to the end on ronin ALL they way to the big red guy just wish I could've started from that point again..... I even took a pic of it lol ### 3/5 — Good but buggy *2012-05-06, version 1.1* Great app graphics are awesome and it is just overall good. But one bug that makes it annoying is when you are playing and you hit the menu button next to the health bar in between a combo or while being attacked it goes into the menu and the app freezes. Just have to avoid going to menu at the wrong times. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-04-18, version 1.1* Fantastic game. A lot of fun that requires focus and skill. Easy to use control with real techniques possible. ### 5/5 — Great slice 'em up game *2012-04-17, version 1.1* I like this game great graphics nice action great moves if you get it you'll enjoy it ### 5/5 — Cool *2012-03-20, version 1.1* Great fun game but kinda hard. Wish it was easier to do combos ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Warning you pay to have ads in your way!!! *2012-03-29, version 1.1* This is a fun game that is really hours of fun even though all of its levels are the same background with different opponents. But now the last update has placed ads that take up the top 10% of the screen ruining game play and breaking a simple rule of gaming if I buy the game I never want to see an ad; ever! I'd think thats something Apple would enforce. ### 1/5 — thieves *2011-11-07, version 1.1* there is a button that says support developer and remove ads that is right next to the new game button. well i accidentally pressed it and it said "purchasing" and it charged me a dollar without even asking are you sure? I am going to get this garbage removed from the app store ### 1/5 — Asking Too much personal info *2011-06-16, version 1.1* Asking too much personal information just play a free version... This is a very turn-off right away. Made me not want to play the game. It should have an option to create an account if user chose to make one, not in order to play the game. For this reason in gave it a star. ### 1/5 — Crashed! *2011-05-14, version 1.1* So, first thing I noticed was when I opened the app, the words on the title screen seemed too big for screen, the words at the edge were cut off. I saw the "send feedback" button and decided to send something. Though I was in landscape mode, the feedback panel opened like I was in portrait, and the keyboard popped up in landscape, blocking the panel. Closed out, the. Tried it again... Screen freeze, then crashed... Does not seem lie anyone else had this prob. ### 1/5 — Updated Ads! *2011-04-15, version 1.1* Latest update does make the game a bit easier but it puts a huge bar on the top with ads and fully animated ads that make you wait every once in a while...I know the game is free but this is not really what i expected from an update. ### 2/5 — *sigh* *2011-06-16, version 1.1* Only one character, one stage, and one katana. The slow mo is nonsense, the slicing in half is nonsense, the attacks are limited, and you can't change volumes of anything. 2 stars for being "original" ### 2/5 — Ads always work, app not so much *2011-05-09, version 1.1* The third time this app crashed on me after successfully showing me an ad, I said no more. Seems to be a fun game but I'm not giving them multiple ad views because of crashes. ### 3/5 — I'm mildly impressed. *2017-02-05, version 1.1* It's actually kind of impressive for a samurai game, but it falls short in many ways. For one, it feels extremely difficult, even on easier modes. I couldn't get past the normal mode at all because of it's difficulty spikes. Although, I do have to commend the game for giving you neat combos and stuff. You can even upgrade your normal combos to make them better, and I like it when video games do that. However, another shortcoming is no story mode. In fact, there's a dwindling amount of content in the first place. It's just sort of "here, kill these guys," just with different difficulties. I also don't really like how the point system works. The moves you've unlocked save, but your points don't save when you die. Kiiinndddddaaa like dark souls I guess, but it's not okay here because combos can become expensive later on and you can only earn coins by killing enemies or buying them. Overall rating so far: 7/10 ### 3/5 — Great *2013-04-20, version 1.1* It's a great idea,, with a great concept I just wish that you could save your money... Or some kind of progression type if game not start with nothing and no combos ### 3/5 — Hard to say *2012-08-11, version 1.1* The game is great with the fighting but yet the screen sometimes freezes on the shop screen while the music goes on. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Updated this gold game *2023-02-20, version 1.1* For iPhone 12 and more please this game it’s legendary ### 5/5 — Old fan *2020-02-13, version 1.1* This was one of the first iOS games that I was impressed by. Update it now. ### 5/5 — Update please *2018-08-15, version 1.1* It’s one of the first mobile games I played and I want to replay it. Please update the game to be compatible with iOS 11. ### 5/5 — Very good *2017-12-02, version 1.1* I use to play it when I didn’t need it to update on 0.11 but now I do so can you make a third one for free and same as the others? Thanks! ### 5/5 — Need to be updated to iOS 11 *2017-10-16, version 1.1* Please update to iOS 11 ### 5/5 — Thank you *2017-07-17, version 1.1* Thank you for making a game that brings me joy and addicting ### 5/5 — This Samurai is AWESOME *2016-02-16, version 1.1* Such a cool game! It's simple, easy to learn, and, though there are only a few levels, is ridiculously addictive! ### 5/5 — These guys make the best games! *2015-09-26, version 1.1* We need to support more app developers like this . These guys are making quality games. This samurai game is a top game for pick up and play style gamers like me. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2015-06-22, version 1.1* I had this game when I was younger and it brings back good ole memories I just wish the full version was free but better than nothing 👍👍👍👏👏👏😁🎉🎉 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-09-27, version 1.1* Just because I like the face that you can cut there bodies into prices or cut there face off I like really gory sword games --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
