    Love the concept, but it just made me want something more refined. I normally don't mind pixel art style games, in fact I often love them. But this...this is way to basic, and the movement/animations feel sluggish. The high-res character art behind the incredibly chunky pixelated sprites at the character select screen practically taunts you with what the game could've been.

    If the devs made something higher res and smoother gameplay, it'd be a winner I think. A satisfying homage to Bushido Blade, rather than this half-baked effort. Hopefully they'll follow up with a sequel that has greater aspirations.

    It's a fun enough diversion if you have a few minutes to kill but don't want to commit to something more involved. It's not very deep. There's only a handful of fighters even with the DLC and there's a clear advantage to the fighters with a quick ranged strike. It would be nice if there was more of a reward for completing the different modes.

    Pelo preço que o jogo é vendido acho que vale o investimento e pra mim esse jogo é nota 7 e é recomendado para jogar com um amigo destacando seu joycon para entrar em grandes batalhas onde quer que você vá.

    One Strike hat etwas was viele neue Spiele nicht mehr haben. Es trifft dich mit einem Schlag und macht Spaß dabei.

    I personally love games that have simple mechanics but are hard to master, and this game features that, and more Extras. The different gamemodes are super fun, and the variety of characters ist just right for my taste, except for one, and that is Hangaku. She is incredibly overpowered, because every other character has one ability he exceeds in, but lacks in another department.

She is incredibly overpowered, because every other character has one ability he exceeds in, but lacks in another department. But Hangaku has the highest range of all fighters, while having little to no downsides, making her incredibly powerful, even as a easy difficulty bot. If this would get patched/balanced, this game would be in my favourites of all time. Expand

    This is a simple effort that is very easy to get into and to adopt. Unfortunately it's also too simple for its own good, with a visual environment that does not look better than many of the games it's based on and a lack of balance between characters that does not motivate the players to explore their features.

    One Strike is mildly fun, but woefully ill equipped to provide any long term value.

    One Strike will make a good addition to any gathering of friends but don't expect much life from it as a solo experience.
