Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is a functional, if wholly unremarkable brawler that sees you effortlessly hacking your way through hundreds of identical enemies through dozens of samey corridors. It's clearly made by people who love the show and its characters. That show, however, is not defined by its action—rather, its action is defined by its characters and the world they inhabit. Let's gush about Samurai Jack, talk about adapting properties from other media in interactive form, and discuss how despite its best intentions, Battle Through Time fails to capture the heart of this unique and truly beloved show.
