Fun gameplay that makes you feel like a badass whenever you pull off murdering a room full of people. On the downside the transfer between live combat to turn-based can get really awkward at times, especially with the grapple hook. You could be a Asian gymnist of death one second and the moment you are spotted you become a human pinata swinging limply from a rope with 5 children trying to shoot you with their bb-guns. Not to say the turn-based portion is bad, but you need to know when and where to reveal yourself so you aren't a sitting duck, and the grapple tends to get you into bad positions while in turn-based mode.

The levels have just the right length to not overstay there welcome but there are only 15 or so of them which is dissappointing. New game plus didn't do much for me either since not much was changed besides some enemy AI and changing the rules where the bonus to not set off an alarm is mandatory or you lose. The problem was I already did that in my first playthrough to get all the skills and that just made the second time easier.

Only glitches I noticed was a minor one where the samurais would sometimes get stuck in walls after the initial hit and I wouldn't be able to kill them. Music isn't offensive but nothing to really write home about. Other than that not much to say.

TL;DR
Fun short game that makes you think, good for a day off (a weekend if you want to 100% it), buy it during a sale.
