Age rating: All ages
Become a samurai and parry the blades! Tap the screen with perfect timing!
How to play
Controls: Tap the screen. On PC, you can also parry with Space, Enter, Z, J, or ↑. Press Esc or P to pause. When the enemy's blade flashes, tap to parry the attack. Perfect timing is a PARRY; slightly off is a BLOCK. Too late and you're HIT and lose a life. Too early and you whiff, leaving you unable to parry for a moment. When the red danger mark appears, don't tap — wait it out to EVADE. Tapping gets you hit. Parries and evades wear down the enemy's posture; once the gauge is full, you cut them down in a single Issen strike. Lean on BLOCK too much and your own stance breaks, costing you a life. Run out of lives and you're SLAIN. Each stage is 5 fights — 4 foes and a boss — and clearing all 6 stages unlocks Endless. Keep succeeding to build your COMBO and raise your score multiplier. Taking a hit breaks the combo. Spend the mon you earn in Train to upgrade skills like Mind's Eye (widens the parry window). Tips: Watch for the flash of the blade, not the enemy's wind-up. If sound or visuals feel late, move the Timing offset in Options toward +.
