NCS Product Synopsis
Update: January 08, 2004
«©NCSX» Seven Samurai 20XX has nothing to do with Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai film. Nothing. Well, the hero Natoe recruits six fighters to help him defend a human city from marauding robots. In Kurosawa's classic, a samurai named Kambei Shimada recruits six skilled samurai to help defend a meek village from bandits. So, we have one plot similarity - nothing else hearkens back to the film but hey, Kurosawa's son had some artistic input...

Sometime in the very near future, armies of robots take over the world and a samurai warrior named Natoe fights for humanity in the last remaining bastion. Along with his own impressive sword skills, six additional warriors may be called forth to battle alongside Natoe against the metal hordes in 3-D slash 'n slash some more action. Hero Natoe's moves include Shinobi-like "tates" where a series of enemies are attacked in smooth sequence and a charge-up move where he swings two swords at masses of bots. Production values and gameplay are on par with other recent hack 'n slashers and the game will appeal to action fans who have a yearning for such thrillers as Bujingai, Dynasty Warriors, et al.

   Since the Seven Samurai name was used so liberally without any significant linkage to the source material, we fear Yojimbo Reloaded, Rashomon Revolutions or perhaps Ran 50XX might follow if this particular game sells especially well...
