Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time Review

Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time reviewed by Alex Santa Maria on Xbox One. Also available on PlayStation 4 and PC.

"Even if you're not a Samurai Jack superfan, Battle Through Time may be worth a playthrough just for the refresher course in how action games used to work and how vital that style can still be in 2020. There are plenty of quirks that come with the game's curious dedication to the past, but the overall package excels despite them. Following so many slow, tanky duels with skeletons that can take you out in one hit, it's a blast to tear through countless rock creatures with a single smash of a spiked club."

I’m glad to hear this is actually a solidly made game and not just cheap fanservice.

[samuraiblack]

Wasn’t expecting a rating this high, not bad at all

[aychfriday]

I’m a Samurai Jack fan, so I was getting the game regardless. Lower your expectations and treat it as a hack and slash, and you’ll love it.

They should remaster the Ed Edd and Eddy games

[ANGELOFDARKification]

Feels so weird seeing it in 3D rather than a more cellshaded cartoon art style

[skerdog]

This Ghosts of Tsushima expansion looks great

If you haven't seen this show. Please watch all the way through.
You owe it to yourself

I love how the mechanic of playing as Jack works in the game as it is so incredible to watch the review trailer about Battle Through Time

[OggyisCool]

Was honestly expecting a 6 or 7 score at best so I'm real surprised this got an 8. Now I may buy it!

[sharktiger]

I hope this game is canon to season 5, that ending was still heatbreaking.

[Shallsoar]

I wish to return to the past, to bring this game to my 14-year-old self!

[hrtbrk]

Playing on my Switch now. Freaking amazing already. If you’re a fan of the show, its a must buy.

0:44 Aku the “wizard” 😂
Not a demon mind you, “You’re a wizard Aku” 😂

[adnanasif]

So does the game explain samurai jack's connection with the professor from power puff girls?

[Wttanz]

When this game has dismemberment but jedi fallen order didnt. And ya i know creatures but that dont count

[VincentVincent_]

This year has been all about samurai, and I’m so happy :D

[BaLLHands]

When samurai jack has more dismemberment than fallen order lmao

[abhishekmajumder]

I so wanna get Sekiro Jack: Battle Tsushima Twice,

But like imagine a Ben 10 game where you get access to all his aliens( or maybe most) and you also play as Gwen and Kevin and maybe even grandpa max . Seeing how this game was successful maybe this could open the floodgates to other shows games . A man can dream right😭...

[Chris-ypzm]

See, i remember everyone giving this game a pass before it even released. Looks like a relaxing Ninja Gaiden esque game.

[MyInstantSearch]

I love such games. So happy to see more games like these with the art-style that matches the show well.
