The only flaw to the game was the camera control. It would've been great if we could use the arrow keys to pan the camera. There's too much going on with the mouse to be able to do it easily as is.

This plays fantastically with a graphics tablet. Slicing though enemies with an actual pen stroke is just so much fun!

Since the Steel Samurai (medium) badge became the badge of the day for May 4, 2016, I remembered playing this game since April 16, 2011. (http://prnt.sc/b06fj5)

Got the badge years ago but back in 2008 this game was pretty awesome. It still has good game play, graphics, and is smooth nearly 8 years later...

One of the best games i have played in a while. The game was a little short and I just wish it was a bit more difficult. still 10/10

For the People that do not know how to encounter the different tasks in this game:
In case you didnt read it carefully, the bow is equipped by holding the SHIFT button.
The Catapult does not need to be attacked or defeated, just stay as close to the right border of the screen as possible it cant attack you there, you will have won the lvl when youve slain all the enemies.
The last boss can only be attacked mid-air, target his legs/feet so he will jump, then target him with your sword while hes jumping, hit him a few times and he will be dead.
+ this so people can read it :)

I'm not clear on how you defeat the catapult. I can't hit the actual thing, am I supposed to hit a ball back at it or something?

Not sure how folks are dieing to their own bow, haven't had an issue. When trying to kill shield bearers, I suggest slicing past them, then back again, catch em when their back is to you.
Really enjoying how smoothly the game flows, drawing the slashes and having him jump to follow, is a great mechanic. The art is perfect, evokes exactly the correct sense of time and place, coupled with the music, it's superb.
SHS has just jumped to the top of my favorites list.

yovonc Neah, I preferred to skip 66% of the second part battles by doing them in strategy mode. Much faster to get to the last reward tile.

To show the rest of the solider just how useless they were to me, I defeated every single group o enemies in the first half of the game, then in the strategy part only moved them in the first turn, so that I could move the Samurai to a place where there were actual enemies. I then took out their entire army and commander without their help. Just to show them just how utterly useless they were and how much cooler the samurai is then them.
