Sakura Samurai - review
A portion of a 1up review...
The combat emphasizes elegance and quick reaction over spastic controller inputs for combo chains; a great example of nuance over sheer aggression. But the repetitive grinding stretches a cool combat concept thin, and harshly takes away any feeling of accomplishment. It's a shame that the harsh penalties feel so unbalanced, transforming Sakura from a visually charming adventure into a repetitive and often unfair endurance run.
