Otherwise, the game controls are good, and it feels a bit like the first God of War, but with a katana. This may not sound very tricky, but it sometimes gets a bit frustrating and I would have preferred that it worked as it does in, for example, Zeda where Link auto-locks onto the next enemy by defeating the one you are attacking at that moment. I often end up in a situation where I lock Jack's sight onto an incoming enemy, kill him, and then I'm forced to avoid incoming attacks from other enemies, back off and re-lock my sight on one of the new foes. It's a little annoying though that Jack can't shift focus faster when you "lock" on a specific enemy. It is possible to perform a parry, you have the ability to avoid attacks, as well as double jump and grab enemies to perform small kata-like close-quarter-attacks (although that's later in the game). Jack hammers the enemies in the head with his sword, cuts them in the midriff or mashes them completely, and there are a number of nice combinations here, which can be updated via a well-developed skill tree. Mechanically, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is very old-fashioned and simple, but without feeling outdated. This has of course meant that the developer Soleil has been able to easily pick their own favourite moments from the cartoon and put them to good use. The filler-filled stages and wave-based enemy rooms bog. Playing as Jack, you team up with trusted allies from the show to face off against familiar enemies. Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is a great-playing game that falls just a bit short of being a well-crafted overall experience. In Battle Through Time, Jack's arch-enemy, Aku, forces the refined swordsman to once again travel through time and space to revive and once again face his toughest opponents in the most challenging battles of his life. More specifically, this game serves as an untold Samurai Jack adventure that ties into the epic series finale. It is by far the largest game for my iPhone (an 11 Pro Max, if you're interested) that I have ever downloaded at a breathtaking 4.8 GB and it's a hack-n-slash adventure where different sword-combinations form the backbone of the gameplay. Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time was announced for PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One some months back, but has now also been rolled out for players on the Apple Arcade and thus it's playable on any iPhone or iPad. When the series was rounded off in 2017 with a final season, I was very happy, and today everything Jack-related is somewhat appealing to me, mostly because of pure the nostalgia hit I get and because of my love for the character. The Adult Swim character Samurai Jack is great and I have appreciated the series over the years, so much so that I am happy just to hear a few seconds of the original music, or see a short glimpse of Jack's square-face.
