If you are searching for a beat'em up or a souls like, this game is NOT like that. This one is press the button on the right time (like Guitar Hero and lookalikes). That been said, it's a great surprise to play it! The controllers answer pretty well, graphics are nice, hand drawn and matching the atmosphere. Monsters are very well designed, worthy of the Lovecrafian world (just the insects that made me confused haha). O.S.T. is ok, I just listened two songs, one of the main menu and one of the game itself. Well, I think that's pretty much it. I'll give it a 7 plus one tentacle. A whole 8 for this! Game on players!
In Musashi vs Cthulhu you embody Musashi, a cursed samurai battling relentless waves of eldritch monsters. The gameplay is straightforward: enemies approach from both sides and you must strike their weak points, head, torso, or legs, using corresponding buttons. The challenge escalates as enemies become more varied and aggressive testing your reflexes and precision. It's a game that doesn't overcomplicate things, offering a pure test of skill and focus. Ideal for short, intense sessions where quick reactions are key or just for longplays if you are really going for it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8uF2JVLjJk
i have to say, that of all the games i have played that share this very same concept, and that been on a mobile gaming platform, playing this game in particular with a controller rather then tapping on a screen took me like 30 minutes to get use to it, but in no time at all natural progression finally kicked in and i was tapping away like a semi pro, and the funny thing about a game like this is, that it is so simple in design and game play but can be real challenging also, and is the reason why you find yourself going again and again until you get that high kill rank score and then once you get a high score your always challenging yourself to beat it, plus having an online ranking board to compete against other players makes the game even more worth while to play, and this game compared to all the others like it has that real unique spin on it where your not just tapping left and right
This was WAY more fun than I thought it would be based on appearances. The controls are very responsive and feel like a lot of fun. Devs, if youre reading this...PLEASE incorporate these controls and the left/right mechanics into a rhythm game in the future. DJ Musashi would be a ton of fun!
Just got this game tonight and started playing it. Did not think i was going to like it when i found out that you can't move around but after 10 minutes of playing the game i must say that i like it a lot. I will definitely be playing this game a lot. I suggest that this game should change it's steam deck compatibility listing from playable to steam deck verified as it plays great on the deck. I am happy that i discovered this game. I feel like i just discovered a hidden gem of games.
It's a very fun and challenging experience. The devs included the right amount of tutorials. It starts slowly and then the challenge begins. It makes you wanna scream at your failures and pushes you towards being a better player (especially because of the leaderboards).
