I think less clicks should have a better reward. It should be better to save clicks than any bonus you would get from clicking more tiles.

Disappointing game until you let us keep at least a portion of our earned rewards on a failed battle. Players don't want to waste their time with no rewards.

Ok. So. I just beat the game, and, I actually have to take back what I said. While the limited clicks are annoying, they actually end up working just fine. I love this game. BADGE GUIDE: Find the Daimyo as fast as you can. Then use the rest of the clicks to kill as many minons as you can. Then save all the rice fields you find. When you have the amount of clicks equal to all the ricefields you found +1, go to them, then fight the Daimyo with your last click. In order, buy: Bamboo Armor-Focus: Clones-Souldrinker-Daimyo Hunter-Focus-Chakra-Quick strike. Spend most of your exp on the Samuri but also unlock 2 others. Good luck. 5/5 game

Can't grind or anything.. After you beat the first stage (still not really knowing what to do) You get thrown into level after level neither of them any easier than any of the others. All are the same difficulty unless you beat one then they all get harder. Kind of a waste of time. I wish i could control the little guy. He always fights the swordsmen and gets pwnd by the archers. Lame.

after getting the badges i decided that yes, this game does suck pretty hard. sorry Nerdook but this is a fail. i look forward to your next red and black silhouette samurai game...

Oh. Wow. I didn't realize this was Nerdooks latest game. I thought you were on your honeymoon. The Nerd is back. Hope the monthly game uploads continue. You're the hardest working developer I know.

Very helpful upgrades include bamboo armor for survivability, souldrinker to help regen health in battle, focus: chakra for more skills and revives, and quick attack to help kill mooks faster. Try to save most, if not all, of your silver for permanent upgrades and spend the majority of your xp on your samurai since he's going to do most of the killing, but don't forget to get companions- they serve as great cannon fodder. Hope this helps! :)

It would be great if you could access the market from the map screen. I wanted to use my remaining silver to buff my units up for the Shogun, but I realized too late that I wouldn't be able to.

I was looking forward to a Nerdook spin on minesweeper... but this is most certainly not it. The only commonality it has with minesweeper is a square based grid, meaning its more like a billion other games than minesweeper.

Great idea, had some potential. The mystery of "finding the Daimyo" in every level isn't enough to hold interest, nor are the exceedingly easy "fight" sequences, where I sit and watch mediocre animations kill each other.

Nerdook i Love all your games but i think this is a little you know worse then some of your games i dont enjoy it that much im saying this in the nicest way possible but it game kinda isnt that good thats all

Best powerups to buy in my opinion:
1st = Expert tracker, so you can find the daimyo in a few clicks and use the rest of them to find moutains/mooks.
2nd = Multi-strike
3rd = Miner. This skill alows you to end the game with about 8 skills.
4th = Regeneration
5th = Bamboo armor
6th = Souldrinker
7th = Quick strike
8th = Focus : Chakra
And a couple more if you can afford it = Focus : Slash and Light Feet
Just finished the nightmare mode with 5 stars. Nice game !!!

Amazing game, love the concept of the game, but it's just so sad when I get rushed because I didn't kill enough mooks at the daimyo battles and have to restart lol *5 star*

Woot nightmare done... 438750 points on nightmare (that is with 5 stars). Not too hard once you learn what powerups are worth getting:
Mining: Minor gain in the long run, if you take it, take it early.
(Multi-hit?): Despite only being 75, this is amazing. This alone allows you to take out the early bosses without killing previous mooks.
Bamboo armor: This is a huge damage reduction consider how much you get hit.
(Blood drinker?): This combined with bamboo armor allows you to keep going and going.
Soul drinker: More specials, and revive your allies more.
Shadow copies: Mainly for the final boss.
For the first level you have to take out a few mooks before the boss, but past that the allies you can get really help for the next stages allowing you to kill the boss without taking out too many mook squres. I would still try and grab mountains on the way though. Don't get over confident though, later levels you will need to take out some mooks or you end up falling behind.

Yes, the nightmare mode is a whole different game, and has kept me coming back to this trying to beat it. Not in a frustrating way! More like when I die, I just put in another quarter and try again. And the extra XP let me keep trying out all the different upgrades. I'm ready to call this my favorite nerdook game. And that's saying somethin'.

When I try to play on Nightmare if I use the reset button during a stage it puts me back on normal, any way I can fix that on my end?

Just uppgrade the Samurai is a great tip, and avoid the lvl that gives you "one less click" on all remaning lvl's till the end.

Fantastic Game. I really like how the harder difficulties are actually a challenge, but still fun. Please correct the high score though. The game score doesn't transfer to kongregate's score list.

I think Shadow Clones is perfect, but flying daggers needs to hit the entire screen, do more damage, or aim at enemies, and super slash is nothing compared to Shadow Clones.

It's a bit annoying that the Samurai doesn't have an escape plan. Three shadows and a monk at full health, but losing because the Samurai has only 50hp left is pretty sad.

Maybe keeping your money after getting defeated would help beating the last enemy.
Even if you only keep half the money you gained during battle.

10 leftover clicks: 30xp
16 leftover clicks: 40xp
The first 10 clicks gave me 3xp each. The last 6 gave me just 1.66 each? NOT FAIR!

how about when you viset towers you sometimes find "survivers" that well join yourr in the final battle.agenst the domyo guy.and they ALL come that are alive to assest you in the final boss.but how about the towers sometimes have unleaveable battles. + so nordook and see and make this possable:D
