Samurai Jack: The Amulet of Time is an action-adventure game based on the Cartoon Network animated series, where Samurai Jack has been sent to another time by his nemesis Aku. In order to restore time from the twisted reality he currently fights through, Jack must find a portal home.
Jack discovers that an amulet will aid him in returning home and pieces of it have been placed all around the world. To progress, you must explore every corner of each level to find these pieces, while fighting powerful enemies using your sword and other weapons.
Each piece of the amulet gives Jack new magical abilities, such as double jump, allowing him to enter areas that were previously inaccessible. With his newfound powers, Jack can continue on his quest to defeat Aku and return home.
