More about this game
Step into the arena as one of four unique warriors, each with their own weapon and combat style. Your goal is to defeat five increasingly difficult opponents, culminating in a battle against the Fallen Shogun. The core loop involves managing your distance, blocking incoming attacks, and striking when your enemy is vulnerable. Between battles, use coins earned from victories to upgrade your health, attack, defense, and skill power up to level 6. A run ends when your health reaches zero or you clear all five stages.
Tips
- Watch your skill cooldowns closely; your first skill recharges in just 2.25 seconds, while your ultimate takes 8 seconds.
- Upgrading your stats costs coins. Focus on upgrading Health and Attack early, as they max out at level 6.
- Different warriors have different combo lengths. The Assassin can chain up to 5 hits, while the Oni Warrior maxes out at 3.
