First Samurai review

Zero (1991): "The graphics match the sound for inventiveness. The screens are packed with brightly-coloured 'bits', working on all sorts of complicated parallax levels, with lovely graduated 'setting sun' sky effects. Like most games these days, Samurai smacks of this and that. It's as huge as Turrican, the gameplay is similar to Torvak, it looks a bit like Stormlord and the screen bounces about in the best Strider fashion. Samurai would be a pretty good game if it had nothing to add to this, but it does! It does! It does!"

Retro gamer collector's corner:

A revival of the game was announced in 1998 for the Nintendo 64, and it entered early planning stages of development, but was cancelled shortly after, and never released in any capacity.
