Afro Samurai ‘Over Focus’ Video Demo


These three videos show you the two types of power-ups in this hip-hop slasher. You’ve got the basic “In Focus” mode, which turns the cel-shading from colour to black and white, slows time and gives you accurate swordplay–you can chop off different body parts. The “Over Focus” mode makes time practically stand still as you run around chopping the limbs off of multiple enemies. The rap soundtrack intensifies during these power-ups as well. I’m looking forward to spending some hands-on time with this game when it comes out early next year.

    @slyzxx786: Better then an anime that never ends, like a certain series.

    Yeah, this game looks pretty good. Will have a stylish aesthetic, along with damn good voice acting, at the very least.
