    This is a fun game that gets a lot better once it gets going. The early stages are very short and heavy on VN scenes, and the combat starts off very basic. But as you unlock more moves and start encountering more challenging enemies the gameplay really starts to shine. Controls are very tight and responsive, handling both hectic combat and precision platforming well. Great art directionThis is a fun game that gets a lot better once it gets going. The early stages are very short and heavy on VN scenes, and the combat starts off very basic. But as you unlock more moves and start encountering more challenging enemies the gameplay really starts to shine. Controls are very tight and responsive, handling both hectic combat and precision platforming well. Great art direction and character designs make for a mostly nice looking game, but the low resolution and (thankfully rare) framerate dips hurt a little. The music is typical fare and nothing outstanding but the voice acting (Japanese only; no English dub here) is pretty good. All in all it's a very good game with a surprising amount of polish despite its obviously low budget. If you are the type who likes to replay games on various difficulties or seek out hidden unlockables it's worth picking up at full price. Otherwise, wait until it gets a sale.… Expand

    I thoroughly enjoyed SAMURAI MAIDEN's combat with its wealth of skills and charming cast of lovely ladies. However, it does have its issues, especially if you want to take photos of the characters' panties because you'll end up incredibly disappointed.

    Every time you use your partners’ skills, your relationship with them rises. They're pleasantly designed in a way that means you don't have ton rely on them, acting more as stun mechanics. In addition, these attacks help mask the game's numerous frame rate dips. Sadly, these drops, alongside your main character's stiff attacks, make Samurai Maiden's encounters much more frustrating than they should be.

    SAMURAI MAIDEN mixes two completely opposite genres (action and visual novel) and fails to excel in either one. It is a weak, boring game with awful graphics, bad music, unresponsive controls and a monotonous story. The character models are very nice and the action is a little pleasing after evolving a lot and unlocking different moves, but it's not worth it.
