Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Rogue Samurai suffers from significant technical issues, including game-breaking crashes and display glitches that prevent gameplay, alongside lacking polish and weak meta-progression that make it feel unfinished compared to similar roguelike games. While players appreciate the variety of skills and abilities, and the developers showed promise at early stages, the game's abandonment of updates due to financial constraints has left these problems unresolved. The low price point offers some value, but most players feel the game needed substantially more development before release.
GAME IS BROKEN. Do Not Recommend! On April 22, 2025 the developer announced they are no longer updating Rogue Samurai. All Events > Rogue Samurai: Prologue Events > IMPORTANT UPDATE ON ROGUE SAMURAI – THANK YOU FOR THE JOURNEY! All Events > Rogue Samurai Events > IMPORTANT UPDATE ON ROGUE SAMURAI – THANK YOU FOR THE JOURNEY! First launch crashed my PC. After a clean restart, every attempt shows a Samurai splash that flickers like a strobe and never reaches gameplay. Alt+Tab pauses it; click back in and the flicker returns. The game has to be force-closed to end the madness. Reboots did nothing. The Prologue demo works fine, which makes this even weirder. Price was one dollar, so it seemed worth a shot on sale. Given the stop-update notice, I don’t expect a patch. Other reviews report additional buggy issue.

Rogue Samurai is an action roguelite that combines the thrill of fast-paced hack-and-slash combat with the highly replayable progression systems that have become a staple of the genre. Developed and published by CO's Entertainment, the game places players in the role of a lone samurai facing relentless hordes of enemies across dangerous battlegrounds inspired by Japanese history and folklore. Rather than focusing on a complex narrative, the game prioritizes satisfying combat, continuous character growth, and the excitement of discovering new combinations of abilities and equipment with every playthrough. This straightforward approach allows players to jump directly into the action while still providing enough depth to encourage dozens of repeat runs. Combat serves as the heart of the experience, delivering frantic battles that demand quick reflexes and smart positioning. As enemy numbers steadily increase, players must carefully balance offense and survival while weaving through swarms of opponents. Every successful run rewards players with upgrades that dramatically alter their fighting style, making each session feel different from the last. Whether focusing on devastating offen…
The skill/ability variety is great, but that's the only good thing about this game. Everything else is so lackluster especially the meta-progression. I bought this for $1.50 and I still feel like I didn't get my money's worth, this game feels like shovelware when compared to other survivors-like games.
Dead game. Dev statement: "Due to tough economic conditions facing our studio, we’ve had to shift our focus to new projects."
No. The resolution settings still hasn't been fixed.
doesn't look like finished product. good early access but definitely not the 1.0! so many things can be done, but for some reason developer\team gas out
