Black and White Bushido feels a bit bare-bones when it has some really great elements along with a unique premise going for it. It’s fantastic for an hour as a local multiplayer party game, but not recommended for extended single-player use.

Overview
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.

Black & White Bushido simply doesn't have a large base of players playing the game to make it a worthwhile experience, magnifying the flaws of the title further.
Black & White Bushido is a very fun game to play with a group of friends, but doesn't deliver any enjoyable content for gamers who would rather play on their own.
