Afro Samurai Demo Now Available
SURGE announced today that a free
playable demo of Afro Samurai is now available for download on Xbox LIVE
Marketplace for the Xbox 360 and the PLAYSTATION Network for the PLAYSTATION 3.
A merciless action adventure game centered on revenge, Afro Samurai brings
together the creative best from the worlds of Hollywood and hip-hop music to
deliver an unparalleled entertainment experience.
Based on the acclaimed animated
series starring and executive-produced by Samuel L. Jackson, Afro Samurai
follows a lone warrior who walks the earth in search of his father’s murderer
while ascending into the timeless mysticism of the Samurai code. Staying true to
the soul of the original series, Afro Samurai not only features familiar faces,
but also additional content and background for fans of the series and newcomers
alike. From the gritty musical beats of The RZA that punctuate the game’s
soundtrack to the iconic voiceover of Samuel L. Jackson, the game is a non-stop,
action-packed adventure with style to spare.
Graphically innovative, Afro
Samurai’s dynamic cross-hatch visuals give the game a truly unique look and feel
as Afro wages a brutal war against anyone standing in his way. Featuring an
unrivalled combat system, players can dismember enemies with surgical precision
using vigorous slices of the blade. Make a statement by cleaving an opponent in
two from skull to sandals or perform cosmetic surgery, samurai style, by lopping
off the nose of an adversary. Afro Samurai lets the player feel the swagger and
swordsmanship of the ultimate hip-hop warrior.
Afro Samurai is rated “M” for mature
by the ESRB and a full retail version is now available for a suggested MSRP of
$59.99. For more information about the videogame, please visit:
