Lo Wang and his former nemesis, Orochi Zilla, set out to recapture an ancient dragon Lo Wang accidentally released. Their journey takes them through a mythical Japanese-inspired land overrun by demons.
Move through linear levels with jumps, air dashes, wall runs, and a grappling hook, then fight enemies in combat arenas. Combine guns and katana strikes, use arena hazards, and perform finishers to gain temporary weapons or powers from defeated foes.
Collect upgrade points to improve weapons and Lo Wang’s abilities as you progress. The Definitive Edition also includes chapter select, New Game Plus, Survival Mode with enemy waves, Hardcore difficulty, and Hero Mode, which limits your lives.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its fast arena battles, responsive movement, and the mix of gunfire, melee attacks, finishers, and environmental hazards. The grappling hook and platforming also stand out for some, as do the colorful environments and enemy designs. Reviews are mixed overall: many players find the campaign short and linear, and some criticize its repetition, story, or humor.
