    The Spirit of the Samurai is a project born from an aesthetic idea: creating a stop motion action game. However, this vision failed to translate into enjoyable gameplay, plagued by control issues, a combat system that never truly shines, and forgettable platforming sections.

    Peering through these layers of disguise, then, what we're left with is a hotchpotch of conflicting ideas, a rickety, if not entirely charmless, hack'n'slash that feels plucked from an alternate timeline. [Issue#406, p.118]

    Even if The Spirit of the Samurai does little to endear you to its story, the animation provides a decent jumping on point. Unfortunately, it's squandered by the terrible quality of everything else.

    A very beautiful hand crafted adventure with an interesting combat system and a good level design.
