Iaijutsu Project

Description

Iaijutsu is a 2D, side scrolling action platformer that merges cyberpunk aesthetics with samurai culture with a focus on tense, acrobatic sword duels that emphasize lethality, precision and mobility. The player controls a mysterious ronin, navigating the rooftops and alleys of a rainy city as they are hunted by a team of elite assassins.
