    While Samurai Riot has decent gameplay and an interesting choose-your-own-path mechanic, I cannot recommend anyone buy Samurai Riot for the Switch right now due to the save erasing bug.

    It is a shame that Samurai Riot Definitive Edition has such numerous technical issues, because they impact what would be a decent side scrolling brawler. Without the issues, the game would be a decent thing to play. One run through the game takes approximately two hours, but in its current state Samurai Riot is just frustrating.

It really is presented rather well… up until that game-ending bug. Playing in solo and by being completely loyal to my master, I found myself presented with the bug mentioned at the start of this review. No doubt it is avoidable by going down another path or playing in co-op but, after getting so far, I felt cheated and that put me off replaying the game again and losing everything I had done so far. There are no save slots, nor manual saving, so wiping the save and starting over would be my only choice.

    I would still recommend the game to fans of the genre. It’s a load of fun for a very cheap price, but just be aware of game-ending problem. Personally, I will be waiting for a patch before diving back in … but I will dive back in, and I guess that is what really matters."
