Samurai Gunn is a 2D action video game developed by Beau Blyth and Doseone and originally published by Maxistentialism (though it is currently being self-published).[1] The game was released for Microsoft Windows in 2013, OS X in 2015, and a planned PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita version were announced but never released.[2] A sequel, Samurai Gunn 2, was released in early access via Steam on 20 July 2021, and is currently in development for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5.[3][4][5]

Gameplay

[edit | edit source]

Samurai Gunn is a local multiplayer game that supports 2 to 4 players utilising melee and shooting mechanics as well as platforming.

Players are armed with a sword and gun with only three bullets per life. A match typically consists of players defeating each other with one hit with an attack with either their sword or a bullet. Both swords and bullets can be deflected by other players with precise timing.

Development

[edit | edit source]

Teknopants' Beau Blyth came up with the concept of Samurai Gunn while watching Tommy Wiseau's film The Room and in his boredom exclaimed to his friend Jake that he would make a game. His friend replied, "Samurais. With guns."[6]

Development of the game started the same night, in which Blyth had a working prototype running with most of the basic features. The core game was produced within a week while the full game took half a year to develop.[7][6]
