Along with the update, we're discounting the game by %30 for the rest of the SHMUP festival! First of all, a new weapon set: Jade Weapons.

Let's get into it: Ten Blades Of The Emperor {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43735241/0c85745dc4730d99f7f3f63015182f3cd88a3a52.gif Send multiple flying jade blades in the targeted direction Cursed Magatama {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43735241/b3572f13965967876c29014e86584ae2fd59213e.gif Curses a random nearby enemy and turns them into a jade statue.

On expire, collects the nearby experience A New Mechanic For The Eastern Castle (3rd Map) The 3rd map always felt a bit simple compared to the other two maps. And breaking down the door wasn't that rewarding for its trouble. So I decided to add another mechanic to the map. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43735241/996bc3695f36d9b05f8da7fe75ffcfb6a7241604.gif There are three cannons in front of the castle. Once you break the door, you can steal cannonballs from inside the castle and carry them to the cannons. Then cannons start shooting nearby enemies! They deal 1500 damage to every enemy inside the explosion radius. When they run out of ammunition, you can resupply them again.

Hunt your killer clone before you die! Check Out Our New Game: DoubleWe
Hello everyone! We recently released our Steam page for our other game DoubleWe. Check out our trailer: Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2506530/DoubleWe/ Wishlists are much appreciated! What this means for Samurai Survivors? I started this project in the middle of DoubleWe development. So my main project was always DoubleWe. But after a game jam, I wanted to make a small game and release it on Steam. Thus Samurai Survivors was born. DoubleWe's Steam page release won't change the future updates of Samurai Survivors. Actually, I'm very excited for the next update! We'll have new techniques and a new starter weapon with the special theme of a mysterious power. Maybe even a new map but no promises. Also, I'm working on localizing the game to other languages so more people could enjoy the dashing and slashing fun! -wolderadoRead full article on Community Announcements (wolderado)
