Eternal Samurai

About

Eternal Samurai is a retro-style platformer where you swap control between characters to fight through feudal Japan. You’ll punch, kick, and spirit-possess your way past bosses and henchmen in 2D levels filled with traps and environmental puzzles. The combat feels punchy and responsive with a focus on quick timing and momentum. Single player campaigns let you play as three distinct fighters while local multiplayer supports co-op or head-to-head battles. The game’s pixel art stands out with detailed animations and a moody color palette. Community reviews on Steam average 85% with players praising the tight controls and variety of playstyles. Metacritic scores it 72% with some critics noting repetitive level layouts. Co-op modes add replay value but online features remain limited to local play. Released in 2022 it still sees regular updates to its challenge modes and character balance.
