Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is a competent, if linear and somewhat unbalanced, action adventure. You can tell that the game studio was made up of true fans who poured their love for the show into this game. But the scope and grandeur of the Samurai Jack IP are sadly limited by this game's low-budget restrictions. It's fun for what it is, but it left me hungry for more.
When the issues of a game are rolled and stomped by its greatness, then it’s something to invest on if you have some spare.
Samurai Jack is one of those shows that was destined to become a cult classic the second the pilot episode was aired. It was completely different from anything else being showcased on Cartoon Network at the time. It featured a distinct art style, a big emphasis on stylish cuts, and very little voice acting when compared to the rest of the network’s offerings. Although didn’t last long, those who watched it loved it. Even to the point of succeeding at reviving the series in 2017, for one f...

Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time can help you live out your dream and play as everyone’s favorite samurai. It’s an action-packed adventure that for the most part lives up to the legacy of the source material.

At the end of the day, Samurai Jack fans who simply want more of the franchise in their life may find this game is worth its $40 price tag. On the other hand, fans who care about the canonical events of the show or those who are less invested in the franchise may find they have mixed feelings about it. It has the fun factor many may seek but is ultimately a mixed bag of odd decisions and nostalgic moments.
Got to get back, back to the past, and in our Samurai Jack Battle Through Time Review we'll tell you how the game was able to do just that!
Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is a weak adaptation of the series, but the action mechanics just aren’t all there either, dragging it down even further. With a few tweaks it could be a fun little weekend mascot game, but as is, this adaption isn’t going to appeal to just about anyone.
Verdict: Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is a bit shorter than expected, but it’s still a nice installment overall. It’s essentially an extended episode that shows fans a version of the ending that many wished had happened, and it does a decent job in succeeding in that. As a big fan of Samurai Jack, I thought this swift adventure was a good dose of action and emotion, despite the few flaws that can be overlooked. Nonetheless, it’s a fun nostalgia trip for any time-traveling enthusiast who remembers the tale of a samurai they simply called Jack.
