For a game about Samurai Jack, it needed to absolutely nail the combat, and unfortunately, Battle Through Time, did not. Gameplay is where things begin to unravel a bit. The game plays as a sort-of “greatest hits” of Samurai Jack, as Jack battles his way through several memorable moments including “Jack and the Scotsman,” “Jack and the Lava Monster,” “Jack and the Zombies.” And while I think it works as a way of sending Jack to a variety of interesting moments from the show, I wish Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time would’ve just played out the events of the show from start to finish-filling in some gaps or even adding some things, much like the Afro Samurai game. However, the game deviates from the show by having Aku attempt to kill Ashi and Jack while they’re traveling through time but Jack blocks the attack which knocks him out of the portal and into a realm between time. Upon this revelation, she opens a portal in time and sends Jack and herself back to the past so Jack can finish Aku once and for all. Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time begins in the show’s final moments as Ashi-Jack’s love interest and daughter of Aku-refuses to kill the Samurai and realizes she has all of Aku’s powers.
