Unfortunately this game is not available anymore so if you have it ..you are a legend ..a true lover of this awesome cartoon or if you are a bigger fan and an collector just spent your hundreads of euro for this game but in my opinion isn't worthy.
Gameplay is basic it feels like you watching this amazing cartoon but when is about to fight is your turn ...you will have few levels and despite being 3D game in some section of certain lvls you will be transfered to 2D and back in 3D ...and you will also have different type of fighting style as you will have different guns and swords ...also what i really loved is that if your health decrease ...Jack clothes getting damage and when you refill your health they get repaired...this detail for this game is just amazing ..story is about 5 hours and after you will have challenges and lot more fun to do for earning achievements.
I am glad i had the chance to buy this game before delisted and have this experience as Samurai Jack was one of my favourite childhood cartoon !

Absolute buns that this game is delisted. Only have it thanks to the power of Steam Keys.
Considering the absolute infamous quality of tie-in games for movies and tv shows and the like, this one is one of the few MODERN examples of one that actually plays well and feels FUN. The combat feels like it requires some skill and isn't some button mashy hack n slash, and the story is a nice trip through the shows history while having a simple yet still engaging plot to follow (I'm not all the way through as of writing but it's been a serviceable experience)
As a fan of the show, I was REALLY wanting to get this game, and I regretted not trying to nab it before WB took it down for whatever reason. I'm glad I was still able to get it, it was worth the money and it translates Tartakovsky's style well into 3D.
WB, bring this game back you bozos

First of all, allow me to vent a little. Adult Swim games, what the actual ♥♥♥♥ did you do? Why did you have to delist this gem of a game. You are owned by the people who own the licence for Samurai Jack so there was no reason to delist this and now iif you wanna buy it it's double the price at the aftermarket.
To start with the possitives, the gameplay. It's a hack and slash that plays a lot like Ninja Gaiden, where you have to switch between weapons and use them strategeticly if you want to survive and i love it. And for a licenced game nothing feels cheap at all, in fact it has the same fluidity, veriety in weapons and ways you can approach each encounter and fair challenge that games like the NG and DMC have.
Another huge praise has to go to the visuals. They were able to capture the minimalistic artstyle of the show down to a tea. Everyone looks good exactly like they did in the show and nothing looks uncanny valley or out of place. The environments are beautiful too and i love how they were able to bring iconic SJ environments in life in beautiful 3D. And if that wasn't enough, the extra content like the mission mode and challenging Boss Rush offer even more challenge and veriety dding to the replayabillity. Finally, the story is basically a shorter more abrighed version of the S5 Story but instead you are going back in time to many iconic SJ locations from the first run of the TV Show. And if the final ending rubbed you the wrong way, collect all the side collectables and you'll be able to save Jack's future this time and he'll get the happy ending he deserved.
Overall, this is unironicaly one of my favourite and most undeapreciated hack and slash game of the last decade and it's a shame nobody can play it anymore, unless they want to pay a arm and leg because scalpers are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. If you do get the chance to play it, there's a lot to appreciate about it and it's one of the many licenced game that went above and beyond and it's clear it was made with a lot of love and appreciation from the Show and it shows.

Positive game but with a caution. It's a pretty good by cartoon network IP standards. It has some really cool moments, which are all dragged down by the really derpy combats bizarre hitboxes and animations at times.
It's a decent spectacle fighter/hack n slash game, but to become great? It needed good hitboxes and animations which telegraph the attacks for you to be able to dodge them. It often gets this wrong especially on enemies like the leeches which are incredibly frustrating to fight how the game CLAIMS it wants you to. Add to that some occasional glitches, strange design choices and sound mixing that sounds like a PS2 game and a camera sometimes like one too (but you're on a ps4 game!) and it's a bunch of things that stops the game ascending beyond just having some cool cutscenes and a few other little cool moments where it replicates the vibes of the show well.
Tips:
For the sake of your sanity do NOT play above samurai difficulty on your first run, you're barely given the tools at the start to survive even the tutorial! Get used to idea of breaking weapons on purpose. In any other game that would be counter productive, but here? That's one of the fastest ways to get some upgrade points
Oh and also DO NOT play it before watching all of the show.

This game is just okay. The recommended rating is because mechanically it's sound. It's a functioning video game. For better or for worse it feels like a budget PS2 game. It looks great. Transferring 2D art into 3D isn't typically easy but this game looks really good. I just wish the upgrade system and combat were better.
I would not, however, recommend hunting down a key for this game. If you're really that curious find a spicy copy online, but honestly it's not worth the disc space.

disregard time, played the abandonware version as well as the ipad version via bumming off a family member's apple arcade subscription for many hours until i got a key.
very fun and criminally underrated game. feels like a ninja gaiden clone but friendly enough to be enjoyed by all ages in the most positive way i can express that, while still having a surprisingly high skill ceiling and high difficulty options for hardcore players. master of masters in particular is near NG levels of unforgiving and challenging, very fun. mission mode scoring system also has potential. artstyle is cute and unique, literally trying to 1:1 recreate the samurai jack world and artstyle as faithfully as possible considering the likely spartan budget the game received.
another day, another solid to great title from soleil that didn't receive the acclaim or appreciation it deserves. here's hoping they finally get their flowers one day, maybe off the back of this supposed new IP they're making.
