About Samurai vs Yakuza

Samurai vs Yakuza is a classic beat 'em up. The yakuza have taken over the kingdom's hidden treasures and ancient ruins, and you are the samurai sent to take them back, one fight at a time.

You fight the yakuza in different locations using a compact set of moves: two attack keys, a jump and a defend key. Knowing when to attack and when to defend is what turns button pressing into real fighting.

Boxes along the way hold swords and other weapons to use against the yakuza. The kingdom's future depends on you. It is a straightforward arcade brawler, played with the keyboard on a computer, and it also supports phones and tablets.

How to play Samurai vs Yakuza

  1. Move with the arrow keys.
  2. Press the Space bar to jump.
  3. Attack with Z or X.
  4. Press C to defend against enemy attacks.
  5. Find swords and weapons in the boxes, and defeat the yakuza to save each location.

Tips and tricks

  • Do not forget the C key. Defending when an enemy attacks is as much a part of fighting as hitting back.
  • Do not let yourself be surrounded. Keep moving to one side so the enemies line up in front of you.
  • Open every box. A stronger weapon shortens every fight that follows.
  • Try both attack keys, Z and X, and get a feel for when each one serves you better.
