Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time

its a great game but short
to the idiot publishers please stop killing and delisting games its a real d_ck move and the game is not that old and its unfair for customers not getting chance to buy it to play the game
not cool

Recommended for Samurai Jack fans, but not anyone else.
The combat is atrocious. I respect what they tried to do, but I don't see how anyone playtested this and was like, "Yep! This combat is fluid and satisfying." It has a lot of good things about it, but MAN, the bad game design choices start to weigh on you after awhile. Weapons that break. Having to go into your menu to equip items and use others. Repetitive enemies. No XXXY combo. Or maybe I haven't unlocked it yet, but that should be open from the beginning! That's standard in games like this. I enjoy it for the Samurai Jackedness, but if you removed that, as a game on it's own, it's not good.

Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape shifting master of darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil. But a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time, and flung him into the future where my evil is law. Now the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku.

If this means anything to you, then please buy this game, you won't regret it. I had a blast playing it and it felt just right. That being said, I believe it's an unbalanced mess even on normal difficulty.

Jump Good/10

Its okay now this game will not be removed
Edit: Goddammit nevermind...

if you haven’t heard already, warner brothers intends to delist every game published under adult swim games, along with some other indie titles. the fate of every game published under adult swim games is yet uncertain. however, word has been circulating that the delisting will commence within the next 60 days or so.

battle through time, a title under adult swim games, did not go on sale during steam’s major spring sale, despite being available during every other major seasonal sale on steam. the reason for this omission is still unclear. if battle through time is indeed going to be removed, wouldn’t it be ideal to promote it one last time and give fans a final chance to grab the game? on the other hand, do the corporates believe that leaving it at full price is a better decision, assuming players will buy it anyway as it nears removal from the platform?

The likelihood of battle through time going on sale in the near future seems slim, given that it has only been discounted during steam’s major seasonal sales. the next seasonal sale won’t occur within the next 60 days.

battle through time has always been on my radar ever since it was first announced. purchasing it has always been on the agenda, so it's disappointing that I couldn’t acquire it on sale. I would recommend samurai jack fans and followers of the game alike to consider purchasing the game at full price due to the mere possibility of it being delisted.

this situation is particularly distressing because battle through time is actually a great game, a well-thought-out title that captures the essence of samurai jack in an appropriate manner whilst offering thrilling gameplay and a captivating alternate take on the saga, rather than simply capitalizing on a well-established property with a cheap product.

The Review
The best Cartoon Network game. The combat is fun but can get repetitive very quickly. The game is much better than the final season but I wish they when for a cel-shaded look instead of the wired play-doh look.

Good action game, great Samurai Jack and a must play if you're a fan of the series. Genuine shame it's gonna be delisted within a couple months.
