However, where the storytelling fails, the gameplay succeeds. While it’s a nice feature for long-time fans of the Samurai Jack series who may desire to have more of the story in their life, it doesn’t attempt to be ground-breaking - let alone enticing - and comes across rather disappointing. In playing this title, I didn’t feel that interested in anything other than the gameplay. Yet, all in all, the story doesn’t provide that much substance to the overall game it felt last-minute and thrown together. You’ll also regularly switch from a 3D perspective to a 2D one, and have intense staredowns, as the game tries to capture the feeling of what the TV show did so well. Ashi, on the other hand, is there to guide Jack through the game and to keep him on the right path to find his way to Aku and eliminate him once and for all. These resources come in the form of either a weapon, ammunition, gold, a consumable, or a throwable item. While the Scotsman, Da Samurai, and every other ally besides Ashi, don’t serve that pivotal of storytelling role, they’re there to provide the occasional piece of advice and free resources that can be used in Jack’s adventure (unless it’s Da Samurai, who is the merchant in this game and has a limited inventory you can purchase gold with). Jack works alongside various allies that have been revealed through the TV show, including the Scotsman, Da Samurai, and Ashi. You’ll travel through different worlds that were showcased in the TV series, and fight familiar enemies. Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time has you play as (you guessed it) Jack as you journey through a pocket in time ultimately tying into the series finale.
