First Cut: Samurai Duel

About this game

A high-intensity arcade sword-fighting game where every strike is lethal. Slash, clash, parry, dodge and watch limbs fly in the atmosphere of historical feudal Japan. Choose your move carefully - the first cut is also the last.



A refined and intuitive fighting system - Aim your sword to block attacks and strike around your opponent's guard. Parry their attacks with your own, dodge to close the distance, and interrupt them with a well-timed shove. It takes a minute to learn, and a lifetime to master.



Customize your fighter - An array of different options to wear. Choose and colour each piece separately to make each character your own.



Dueling with deadly results - Send heads and limbs flying as blood rains down and stains the characters and environment. Chop your opponent to pieces, or equip a wooden sword instead for a little mercy and possibly a concussion.

Duel your friends in local multiplayer, fight custom AI opponents, try to stay alive in Survival mode, or hunt down enemies in the Scenario mode campaign.
Play with friends remotely using Steam Remote Play Together.

Bonus modes - Laser swords, custom blood, floating weapons, zombies, and more.
