    Sure, at its core, Battle Through Time is a retelling of the TV series with some deviations, but it absolutely nails what makes Samurai Jack a modern animated masterpiece, and it was a delightful surprise to play through.

    Finally, after years of waiting, Samurai Jack fans finally have a game that captures the look, feel, and spirit of the cartoon series. It's not a perfect experience, mind you, but fans who've ever wanted to control the charming samurai now have an opportunity to do so.

    Jack is back, with a story fans will love, a welcome return of the original voice cast and surprisingly deep gameplay. The graphics are plain ugly though and the price tag rather steep, especially if you consider the game's short length.

    A relic of another time, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time feels dated by today's standards of character action games but still represents a mighty fine way to replay as one of Adult Swim's most notable heroes.

    If you haven't watched the TV Series, then you should probably stay away from Samurai Jack Battle Through Times, as it doesn't make much sense. On the other hand, the fans of the franchise may find it more appealing, if they can cope with its shallow and repetitive gameplay.

    Not very enthralling and without particular flashes.

    Players would be better off firing up their Hulu apps if they want to get a sense of Samurai Jack’s breadth and wonder.

    그래도 꽤 할만했습니다.
    타격감이나 액션, 전투씬이 엄청 훌륭하다 정도까지는 아니지만, 그래도 꽤 재밌다 정도입니다.
    그래픽이나 그림체가 미국 애니메이션 그림체의 사무라이 RPG게임이다보니 참신했습니다. 이런 그림체가 흔한 편은 아니니까요.    그래도 꽤 할만했습니다.

    Начнем с того что что игра сделан по одному из любимых мультфильмов детства,хоть тогда я не все серии посмотрел,но что смотрел отлично помню.Начнем с того что что игра сделан по одному из любимых мультфильмов детства,хоть тогда я не все серии посмотрел,но что смотрел отлично помню.
    Основываясь на этом я был очень приятно удивлен и обрадован тому что по нему выйдет игра,первая за сколько там лет...лень гуглить,ну я и купил.
    И я не чуть не пожалел,разрабы отлично переместили вселенную из 2D в 3D.
    Мне особо понравились задники,они выглядят очень классно,это еще места где Джек уже побывал.
    Если говорить за сюжет,он идет по альтарнотивному пути,что отлично,так что без спойлеров.
    До чего можно докопаться это пара моментов.
    1. Боевка она с одной стороны разнообразна,но кроме магического меча все остальное,ну такое и оно ломается.Есть еще притензия к некоторому импакту от оружия,но это можно привыкнуть.
    2.Босы есть интересные,есть не очень.
    Вообщем хорошая игра на 10 часов.8/10    … Expand

I ended up enjoingAfter finding out about this game, I decided that it was the time to watch the whole Samurai Jack after all those years. I ended up enjoing the series much more than the game. It seems just seemed so cheap. The same NPCs that are scattered around and that give you random weapons (why?), the weird-looking cutscenes. The same enemies are recycled over and over throught the whole game without any variation to the gameplay. I just expected much more from this game… Expand

    Another game fanboyed by Esport tryhards. The game overly difficult even on easy. The fight consist of getting over ran by bullets and flyingAnother game fanboyed by Esport tryhards. The game overly difficult even on easy. The fight consist of getting over ran by bullets and flying enemies that make you flinch over and over where you can't move until you die (literally every fight after 3rd level). Who thinks that playing a game like this is fun? Why make the game so hard and enemies so spammy and unfun? (May as well put your controller down and let the enemies kill you because you will just flinch every hit and the enemies just keep spamming shurikens at you until you can't move at all) fanboys love this game just because it is a samurai jack game. Look at this combat on this game. It sucks. Combos won't stop until you finish the combo so if you have to block or dodge you can't during an attack. (so once you start an attack if the enemy attacks you, your going to get hit). Trash game ruined by tryhards.… Expand
