Image: MobyGames

Samurai Ghost

Kabuki Ragdoll Fighter


Genre: action - hack n slash

Publisher: TTI

Year: 1992

System: TurboGrafx-16


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Combines the ragdoll physics of Earnest Evans with the uber Japanese theme of Kabuki Quantum Fighter. Combat is really weird. Press up, down, or neutral to choose your sword stance and the I button to attack. Your attack has a very long, laggy motion which requires you to press long before you would think you to. Most enemies die in one hit but they swarm and move quickly. Unique but not enjoyable.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Go to the right. There are some interesting themes and some difficult platforming but the level designs are bare bones.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Kabuki ancient Japanese folklore weird stuff.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Lots of parallax scrolling. Large sprites. Ugly


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Also ugly


Overall Score: 41

Review ID: 1491
