Samurai II: Vengeance for iPhone and iPad due out on 21st October
Second round
Mad Finger Games’s sequel to pretty-but-vacant Samurai: Way of the Warrior will be released on the App Store on October the 21st for both iPhone and iPad.
Samurai II: Vengeance takes the original’s eye-catching graphics and tightens up the gameplay, adding in virtual joystick controls, lots of attack combos, the ability to block, and usable items to overcome the various environmental obstacles.
The enemy roster has also seen a welcome boost, with foes now coming packed with muskets and archers and huge bosses to take down.
Add to this a completely re-written AI, and it’s looking like the gruesomely bloody fighting will be a lot more brutal and intense this time around.
The original may have been given a fairly hefty blow to the chops on its way to a fairly respectable 6/10 last year, but the sequel is looking far stronger. We’ll find out when it lands on the App Store on Thursday.
