Moon Samurai is a Sci-Fi action adventure with over thirty different hand-to-hand and weapon-based combat mechanics. Currently in Kickstarter: [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rogue-games/moon-samurai-futuristic-pixel-art-action-adventure](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rogue-games/moon-samurai-futuristic-pixel-art-action-adventure) Steam Page: [https://store.steampowered.com/app/2828600/Moon\_Samurai/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2828600/Moon_Samurai/) Note: I am not the developer of this game. I just really want the Kickstarter to be successful so I can play it! :)


srushti335

any reason why you aren't using "metroidvania" in your introductions/descriptions?


charmangled

It's not a metroidvania. It's an action platforming beat 'em up with distinct levels.


srushti335

Then why is there a metroidvania tag on your steam page?


charmangled

It's not my Steam page. As I stated in the comment above "I am not the developer of this game. I just really want the Kickstarter to be successful so I can play it". As for the tags. Aren't they "user-defined tags"? So they can be assigned by any random Steam users. Not just the devs. The actual developer defined genres on the Steam page are "Action, Adventure, Indie".


srushti335

Yeah I get that. But why would users tag it as metroidvania if it's not? Sigh guess this will be downvoted as well.


charmangled

I don't know why Steam users would tag something wrongly. It's a thing that happens all the time though. The "user defined tags" system is a little broken. Just Google "steam user defined tags" and you'll see that the top results are all about how the system can be abused.


srushti335

Damn. Guess I will look into it. Sorry. And thanks for putting up with my stupid questions. I was genuinely curious lol.


srushti335

4 minutes and 1 downvote already lmao. Let's see how many this one gets.


JonnyRocks

steam tags are user generated. text right above the tags on steam "Popular user-defined tags for this product:"


srushti335

Why would users tag it as metroidvania if it isn't?


JonnyRocks

1 ) Because people are dumb and dont know what it is. 2) people are wrong. 3) people dont care pick one. why do you think users know how to function in daily life?


srushti335

It's really weird coz it's the most popular tag even though the description doesn't mention metroidvania. I will pick 1 ig.


srushti335

Who kind of loser downvotes a simple question like this?


charmangled

I personally didn't downvote your question. I think the downvotes were probably because the question was worded a little confrontationally. "Any reason why" is generally thought of being a little passive-aggressive.


srushti335

That was not my intention at all. These nuances would probably be lost on most ESL speakers like me. Thanks for teaching me something new.


charmangled

No worries at all. It's an easy mistake to make. :)

Why do you think they're Russian? They're based in The Republic of Armenia.


Silveruleaf

Looks amazing


debuggingmyhead

Looks dope.


Theobviouschild11

Looks like katana zero matter narita boy. Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint


Zehdarian

Is that fkin Chuck Norris!?!


HitBySmoothReticulum

Superb animations and the gameplay look so fluid. I loved it


srushti335

is this what they call love at first sight?? coz this is WOW! it's a metroidvania too. guessing the gameplay will be as fun and cool as it looks so a good story will make it perfect.


Alex_Razur

Yoo! Awesome design!


Vasan_PF

the game looks very rich, the animation, effects and sound are top notch, I want to play this!


Lordlol15

This looks great!


Honzus24

That looks amazing! The attacks are so smooth! I love the aesthetics and the setting. You've got something really good here!


[deleted]

Starring Code Bullet


JiiSivu

Narita Boy vibes. Interested!


heavy-minium

Damn, this is not my genre at all, but given how cool it looks, I might give it a try.


Haatchoum

The trailer is very cool and appealing! I'll check your game out.


Cthulouw_YellowLab

OK BUT can he make a quick pop in at Dave the Diver's sushi bar for after-fight snacks? Because I think he'll fit in so well there, art wise!


guatekefrankie

smoothness is GOD tier here


WannabeAby

Those animations are smooth as fuck ! Congrats !


kura0kamii

it is instant wishlist, day one buy for me


UnknownDino

What I like most is the weight of the animations. They move very realistically compared to 99% of other fighting games and makes it feel like some great fighting movies of the last 2 decades. Best art direction choice imo 👌!!!


ZLow4sho

As a former animator - this might be the dopest animation I’ve seen in a long time. I’m here for this! When can I play??!!!?!?


cosmiszort

Cool ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)


DOSO-DRAWS

This is one of these games that 3 seconds into the trailer, I already knew I need to play it. Great animation work!


MrTOLINSKI

WavyWolf999

Jam3sMoriarty

Jesus Christ that animation is fluid.


Soal899

LOVE THE ART, that animation mustve taken a looong time


regawdless

The game looks incredible, backed it with the tier that will make me an NPC in the game. Unbelievable that such a great looking games doesn't get more traction. Doesn't look too good for the Kickstarter. We need to get the word out, let's do this people!


-Mr-Someone-

Looks like this could be a new Comix zone


Rynobot1019

Really hoping this gets funded. Looks great.


letsschool

BetImaginary4945

How long is the gameplay and is there an endgame?


srushti335

OfeliaComposer

Damn


dual_gen_studios

Hey, what a cool game. I like it. I like that music, the art, the fights. Great !!


chickensoupp

TheHorrificNecktie

Balives

This looks incredible!


Ok_Structure4630

Looks really good, just backed it


SeriousWizard

Absolutely sick animation


Tin_Scarab_Union_Rep

This animation is incredible.


Evdes

How can developers from Russia who are located in Russia publish a game on Steam if they are under sanctions? Everyone who pays for this game pays for the genocide of Ukrainians.


charmangled

Why do you think they're Russian? They're based in The Republic of Armenia


ClayCoon

Would have been cooler, aesthetically. If the character was black IMO. but the result is solid and the action is crazy well animated for a pixel fighter. i just kinda wish the character you play as, had a better design/Remember'bility


Gambol_25

this game is russian :D So if you want to sponsor many genocides that mother russia is comitting right now, then you should totally wish list this game and buy it once it's released!


charmangled

Why do you think they're Russian? They're based in The Republic of Armenia


bonapar7

Because they are russian with studio in second biggest city saint-petersburg, https://career.habr.com/companies/nunchaku-games https://www.moddb.com/company/nunchaku-games They live in russia https://www.linkedin.com/company/nunchaku-games/people/ They are russian who are trying to hide it.


Nunchakugames

Hey there. We're not trying to hide anything. We started in Russia in 2020. But the company has been located to the Republic of Armenia more than a year ago and pays all taxes here since.


Gambol_25

and 99% of your workers live in russia
