Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma
Sep 22, 2015 11 years ago
The sequel to 2009's Afro Samurai was considered so unfinished and poorly done that it was pulled from digital distributors less than two months after its release, and all purchases were refunded.
What it’s like
Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma is a deeply flawed action-adventure experience that attempts to continue the saga through the eyes of Kuma, Afro’s childhood friend. The narrative relies heavily on melodramatic monologues and incomprehensible plot beats delivered via sloppy cutscenes. Mechanically, it offers sporadic third-person combat and melee interactions within unfinished-feeling levels. While the premise of a redemption-driven journey exists, the execution is marred by horrific graphics, obnoxious audio design, and nonsensical storytelling. The game feels like a sarcastic parody of itself, with poor polish that undermines any potential atmosphere or character depth. Progression is minimal, and the overall experience is widely regarded as unpleasant and depressing rather than engaging.
Keep in mind Avoid if you value coherent writing, polished combat mechanics, or visual fidelity; this game is technically broken and narratively incoherent. · Not suitable for fans of the original Afro Samurai anime who expect a respectful adaptation; this title squanders its licensed material at every turn.
