What players say
Played this game both on PS4 and PC and I still love it but sucks this game is underrated though.
1 more review, not recommended
It was a pretty fun little strategy game. You field a little troupe of undead samurai warriors and solve tactical puzzles - there's also a competitive mode that's alright. I think I just didn't connect with the art style, and there wasn't enough variety in gameplay to hold my interest for very long.

About the game
Enter the Samurai Afterlife and join forces with vibrant ghost-samurai warriors, magical animal monks, and mustachioed samurai generals. It's fast-paced turn-based strategy inspired by Advance Wars, and supercharged with fighting-game flare!
