Whoa, Samurai Gunn's Out Today

Good part was at 7:20 when Brad or Vinny kills himself with icicle.

it sucks that it's not online but honestly, this is a game that i cannot see myself NOT playing on a couch with some beers and friends.

I cannot tell you guys how many hours i've sunk already playing Foiled with friends while having a couple beers before going out or coworkers on a liunch break, and I can see this being another great one!

Now all I'm waiting for is sports friends to release and I'll be all setup!

Watch your back for the rest of the year, video games might sneak up on you and take your money.

@stealthraptor: Even if I had friends I can't imagine a scenario where we congregate at each others houses to play a game with 4 controllers hooked into a PC. For all the people frothing at the mouth for exactly that, I am much excite for you and your crew. For the developer, I weep for the many lost dollars.

@stealthraptor: Thank you. I appreciate your concern.

I'm sorry you guys don't have friends.

It looks like they mashed the insanity of Hotline Miami with Super Smash brothers and set it in a Samurai setting.

Interesting concept.

Same here. My closets friends live like 30-40 minutes from me. Not sure why the dev is pretending the internet doesn't exist.

I hope they rectify this if there ever is a PS3 version. I'm not sure why this only announced for Sony systems where it's guaranteed to sell the least either because of miniscule install base or the system being a flop.

OK, I know it looks cool in trailers for the motion to stop briefly when somebody takes a hit, but I guarantee that only the hitter and the hittee will see that stop coming. The other 2 players (assuming 4 players) will not, and will be totally thrown off by the brief stoppage of time.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii did this as well, where any time a player took damage, the action stopped briefly, and it led to all sorts of chain reactions where a person taking damage led to someone else fucking up their jump arc since time stopped briefly in the middle of the jump, and now two pauses have happened and that fucked up another person's fireball dodge timing.

Fuck online play. I'm gonna jack some Xbox controllers into my PC and get waste with some friends over the holidays and it's going to be great. And yes, I'm an old-ass person with a full-time job.

Sometimes, I get the feeling that some games get designed for pretty much two situations, and those situations only:

1: Games journalists who are all actually working in the same office (like Giant Bomb)

2: College students who all still live together.

I'm old, with a job, a wife, and a night shift. Getting 3 buddies over to play a game is never, ever, ever going to happen.

I didn't realise saying something looks like a browser game was considered an insult, considering many classic indie games came from being those. Heck, one of the most beautiful and emotionally powerful ones is But That Was Yesterday that looks like this:

Heck, SUPER HOT is a browser game.

I love the look of Samurai Gunn, so rather than saying "looks like a browser game" as an insult, just put it down to preference that you don't like the art.

@gel: Aye. Netcode for a twitch game is brutal, brutal stuff in terms of the damage it can do to the gameplay. I've written game code for almost a decade and it's still the last thing I look forward to doing.

I'm guessing these guys want a slice of the Towerfall pie, though tbh I'm not holding my breath: That kill effect looks unbelievably irritating.

I have a feeling all the people complaining about the lack of online multiplayer in this game, are missing the point.

Played this at PAX. Reasonably fun, but as others have said, the chances of getting a group together in the same room to play this is next to nothing. And yeah, TowerFall with less options seems an apt description as well. I'll pass.

The online multiplayer is a fair argument, but I kind of can't believe there are people grousing about the price and graphics...

Bought this earlier and had a blast with it, awesome control and GREAT party game.

I need to play more with people, but so far it seems like a simplified Towerfall. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Music by Doseone. Man's a genius.

This game looks like it will be great 4 player fun. Great to see local multiplayer coming back despite most modern commercial games omitting it.

Got any recommendations for good 2-4 player HTML5 games? My favorite 2 player browser game is wrestle jump... so simple but so much fun.

-.- I'm actually pointing out there are great HTML5 games, I just don't understand where the hype for this particular title comes from.

Now you jumping into assumptions and name calling speaks more about your own frustrations/limitations than anything else.

Because all video games that play in a web browser (or "look like" they should) are immediately awful, or are disqualified from greatness?

Go back to only playing your Call of Duty and Madden games, shithead.

As much as I'd love to play this the amount of times I will be in a room with 4 other people wanting to play Samurai Gunn is pretty close to zero. If I was in high school or college still then I would buy this in a heartbeat.

Waiting for the PS4 version. Also given there's no online I'm not sure how much there is for me. What's the single player like?

Well, no sale without online play. Seems like a feature they should have gone the distance to implement.

I bet this is fun but I have no one to play it with.

So I'm not gonna buy it.

Looks like Super house of dead Ninjas

The sound design mixed with pixel graphics is reminding me of this:

PS4 and VITA early 2014

No online sucks. Licence GGPO and make this the game it should be.

I agree, but there are literary a zillion games like that for free

not really give kongregate a chance you'll find good stuff, for free, on a browser... i know kind of weird.

GOTY LATE PLAYER LETS GOOOOOO
