Takashi Okazaki's brutal anti-hero hacks and slashes for
Justice on HD consoles.
Afro Samurai is a man driven by revenge, stopping at nothing in his quest to slay the one who murdered his father and then claim the Number One headband as his own, with all the glory and power it bestows. Players take the role of
Afro to battle through scenes of swordplay and special effects, in a flowing, third-person action style. The look of the game resembles a finely drawn cartoon, with detailed, outlined characters against backdrops that give the appearance of a watercolor and ink painting. The game is based directly on the
animé adventures of the vengeful swordsman. It features the voice of
Samuel L. Jackson as
Afro and an original,
hip-hop soundtrack composed by
The RZA. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
