Samurai Riot

About

Samurai Riot is a 2D co-op beat 'em up where you choose between two warriors with clashing ideals. Team up locally or online to fight through scrolling arenas filled with enemies. Each character has their own moveset and path through the story, leading to different outcomes based on choices made during combat. The arcade-style action focuses on fast movement and combo execution, with environmental hazards and boss battles adding variety. The game’s branching narratives and multiple endings set it apart from straightforward brawlers. It holds a 92% user rating on Steam after 3,494 reviews, with many praising the tight controls and replayability. Available on PC and Linux, it supports both single player and co-op modes. The art style blends traditional Japanese motifs with modern animation, creating a distinct visual identity.
