Black & White Bushido
Things are rarely ever black and white, but that’s not the case in Black & White Bushido. With an original soundtrack and gorgeous, stylistic 2D visuals, you’re either a light or shadow samurai facing down your opponents in a combat arena. The black and white style makes each battlefield a dangerous place, filled with hiding spots for four players to fight and hide in. It’s a simple concept boiled down to an infinitely replayable set of team death match or Capture the Flag sessions. Black & White Bushido is an arena fighting game between light and shadow samurai.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
