One Strike

Really cool game. I always really liked the one hit death match format and this kind of gory samurai themes, and this game handles them pretty well, I gotta check 2 strikes too, it looks pretty amazing so far. also if you like this game check slice dice rice too.

It's that retro game that you get for less than a Coke so why not. Half an hour ago I finished the game three times, 2 in arcade mode, 1 in 1 kills mode, both in easy difficulty. I won't say it is a fighting game because you only get one attack move of each character, and one hit will kill for you and your opponent, timing and when to attack/defiance is the core. Like most fighting games, characters in One Strike are not all that balanced, from the character selection page I picked that guy with a long katana to hit my opponent at a longer distance, and he gave me the first successful run. As the achievement popped up, I noticed players using another guy had the highest accomplished rate and that's when I realized Hangaku, the guy who uses a ridiculously long hook is almost a cheat in the game. His hook can go more than half of the screen, with the longest melee weapon in the game I win easily in 5 seconds. The only guy who may be a threat is the ninja throws Shuriken, but he wouldn't do it at the beginning of the game. As a result, anyone who picks Hangaku in Easy difficulty is very likely to beat the game. I also bought the DLC but the extra maps/characters do not show up. If any devs read this review please fix it. If you enjoy retro games this could be a good pick. I recommend this game.

Bonk stronkem is the best character, HANDS DOWN.

This game is a mixture of frustrating and one leg up on a stump looking proudly up into the air rewarding. This game teaches you that hesitation is defeat, sorry kiddos. Whenever I play this game with others we're all laughing and getting super competetive talking like old warriors such as "IT'LL TAKE YOU YEAAAAAAARS BEFORE YOU CAN CHALLENGE ME!" or " Did you not know that the reason I won was because I can hear the wing beat of a butterfly 4 years away? My only problem with this game is..... WHY IS IT NOT ONLINE!?

A really fun little game. Perfect for when you've got some down time with friends and just want a quick and easy good time.

One of the game's labbel is "casual". That is misleading. While is really easy learning to play, the more you play, the deeper it gets. Play it with a friend, and you will get amazed at how frequently you both will be discovering how to counter this or that unit or technique, that minutes ago seemed unbeatable. That cycle will repeat and repeat until you both will be playing sword duels that will make Kenshin Himura look like a noob. This is a excelent couch game, especially for the price.

It's a very limited game for the price. You can literally beat the hardest difficulty with one hand and looking from the side of your eyes. Unless you have it on a local venue with many other players to play with, it's not gonna last longer than 10mins without a online multiplayer. Great game, but not worth the money spent on it. Hopefully Two Strikes will make this better, but the differences there already worry me a bit (heavy and light attacks on a 1 "strike" 2D game don't work as well if you have 2 strikes for light attacks and 1 for heavy. The third game will have 3 low, 2 medium and 1 heavy for death? Come on.
