This has been available on the Texatron arcade cabinet at Guzu Gallery in Austin for well over a year, but I guess that's the only place you can play it.

Reminds me of the combat from Prince of Persia.

Looks cool, but now i realize how stupid it was for all these gaming press people to talk about how awesome it was 2 years ago. It wasn't close to coming out then and wasn't even in the database, but I kept hearing about it. I just assumed it was some pretentious art project that floated around people in the know.

Multiplayer only?

It seemed to me most of the video was actually the single player campaign with only the multiplayer aspect towards the end. Just my guess though.

I played this at Wild Rumpus, it was fucking amazing.

Local multiplayer games are so much fun, annoyingly it's pretty difficult to get friends around to play them.

These kind of games have been getting real popular lately huh?

And I'm loving it! Samurai Gunn is really cool and all, but I really hate that it's local only. I appreciate that this has that style of combat but also with some sort of adventure mode. I'm sold.

I assume @patrickklepek just sees cool stuff in his travels while he's on holidays, and links them on Giant Bomb to share with us, like we do with Facebook to share with our friends. That or he loves his job so much that he works while he's on holiday. Or Jeff is actually a slave driver, and standing behind him with a whip to keep him working.

I always figured Jeff was into BDSM.
