Sick Samurai Demo

About this game

Sick Samurai is a blisteringly fast, one-hit-kill action game. Dash through enemies, slash them open, time your runs with burning cigarettes, and survive your mentor’s deranged trials in a blood-splattered, jazz-infused sample from the full memoir.

Sick Combat: Slash and dash through opponents at incredible speeds. Wield secondary weapons - like the kunai and stun bombs - and kick objects at enemies to shift the odds in your favor. When the time is right, unleash the Girameki technique. Blink, and you'll die.

Sick Strategies: Each of the demo's four handcrafted combat levels offers multiple paths and strategies. You'll choose between an upgrade and a new secondary weapon as you face increasingly challenging opponents. Master your routes to finish before your mentor burns through his cigarette, and earn an elite rating.

Sick Storytelling: Meet the game's main cast of fully voice-acted characters: There's Genyu, the infamous ex-samurai who’s taken you under his wing, Jones, a “former” gangster turned proprietor of a jazz bar, and Spike, Jones’ disagreeable Rottweiler. Shape your relationships through branching dialogue choices — and if you’re persistent, uncover a couple of hidden secrets.

Sick Aesthetics: This demo features 8 original tracks from Sick Samurai's lofi soundtrack. Blending the vibes of hip hop, jazz, funk, soul, and more, with hand-drawn, retro anime-style art, the world of Sick Samurai will take you back to a surreal reimagining of the golden age.

Sick Samurai Demo

It's 1972 on Furikyu Island, and you're just getting started. A jazz-hop record spins up. Your deranged mentor lights his cigarette. Slash every enemy before it burns out. One-hit-kills, no mistakes... well, maybe a few.
