About Kijutsu Rider
Kijutsu Rider is a third-person hack and slash action game by OmegaMechAnimations, released March 31 2026 for PC. You play as one of five heroes in a neon-drenched anime world, battling waves of enemies and the Black Cross Conglomerate. The game blends quick combat with a story-driven campaign. Each hero has unique moves and playstyles, letting you switch between melee and ranged attacks. It’s fast, flashy, and built for players who want to tear through hordes without slowdown.
Gameplay
You spend most sessions in tight combat loops: dodge, slash, chain combos, and finishers. The camera stays dynamic, tracking your hero’s acrobatic strikes. Missions mix linear boss fights and open arenas with respawning enemies. Weapon switches are instant, letting you adapt to hordes or tough foes. Story missions force you to balance health management with aggressive play. Controls are tight but demand precision, mistimed jumps can lead to quick deaths. Bosses require pattern recognition, with phases that escalate tension. The game rewards memorizing enemy tells over brute force.
What Players Think
Players rate it 4.3/5 on PlayPile, with 78% completing the main story. Average playtime is 15 hours, though 23% stretch to 20+ hours for side content. Community moods lean “satisfying” for combat but “frustrating” for late-game scaling. One review notes “the combat is buttery smooth but the final act’s difficulty spikes are punishing.” 23 achievements are available, including “Beast Tamer” for defeating a specific boss. 65% of players unlock 10+ achievements, but only 12% hit full completion.
PlayPile's Take
Kijutsu Rider is a solid pick for fans of arcade-style brawlers who don’t mind occasional difficulty hiccups. The $39.99 price tag matches its 15-hour runtime, and the 23 achievements add replay value. It shines in short bursts, perfect for 30-minute sessions, but later levels might test patience. Skip if you hate respawning enemies or lack tolerance for trial-and-error combat. For its genre, it delivers polished action with a clear anime flair.
