    Not the most complex game ever made, but i find it generally fun with quite a few good elements.
    The story is nothing special, it is a bit of an expansion on the show's final season.
    The graphics visibly try to mimic the look of the show, which can look bad at some points, but the gameplay is fast enough so that it is not very noticeable.

    Eu amei o jogo, achei o combate desafiador e profundo, com muitas habilidades para se desbloquear. Obviamente é um jogo de menor escala, porém muito divertido e gostoso de jogar. Amei os controles, a movimentação e os feedbacks sonoros e visuais dos golpes. Vale muito a pena!

    Samurai jack: Battle through time is an interesting, albeit flawed little gem that gives the fans of Samurai Jack something new to chew on since the end of Season 5 of the titular cartoon series. The graphics work surprisingly well with the shows original textured hand painted style, and the presentation overall will send any fan of the show back through time, to the days of SaturdaySamurai jack: Battle through time is an interesting, albeit flawed little gem that gives the fans of Samurai Jack something new to chew on since the end of Season 5 of the titular cartoon series. The graphics work surprisingly well with the shows original textured hand painted style, and the presentation overall will send any fan of the show back through time, to the days of Saturday morning cartoons. However the praise ends there, as the game itself is extremely simple for a spectacle fighter, somewhat stiff on the controls especially compared to other spectacle fighters like Beyoneta and Devil May cry. The level design, while pretty, can sometimes choke up the frame rate a bit, cutscenes contain plenty of noticeable texture pop-ins, and animations are very canned and repetitive. What little gameplay there is, is inoffensive and sometimes even satisfying at times, but the extremely short story mode and 40 dollar price tag may not make this game worth it to anyone who isn't a fan.

    To anyone who is a fan, its not bad, and theres plenty of fan service and the game is easy to get into while being challenging enough to not be boring.    … Expand

    It's dumb fun playing this game. Story, mechanics and graphics aren't all that special but it is still fun if you're a samurai jack fan. I think this game has a pretty steep launching price considering the quality of the game but if steam does a sale than I would definitely recommend playing. It's just dumb fun.

    As much this game is deserved to be a best game is not probably. This is one off if not THE WORST Samurai Jack game ever made, probably it looks awful and piece of super garbage game ever.

    Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is a competent, if linear and somewhat unbalanced, action adventure. You can tell that the game studio was made up of true fans who poured their love for the show into this game. But the scope and grandeur of the Samurai Jack IP are sadly limited by this game's low-budget restrictions. It's fun for what it is, but it left me hungry for more.

    Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is a fun romp through some of the episode settings in the series. Although many old characters make appearances, there isn't a whole lot of interaction or story development in-game. This might Battle Through Time a bit harder to get into for players who weren't avid fans of the game. However, if you like old-style action RPG games, this will probably be right up your ally.

    Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is an action game that fans of the series shouldn't miss. Those looking for an old-fashioned fun action game can have what they want in this game, even if they haven't watched the show before. After playing the game, you'll want to watch Samurai Jack again.
