Afro Samurai is a third-person action game based on the anime created by Takashi Okazaki and Gonzo, starring Samuel L. Jackson.
Revenge drives Afro's quest for The Number One headband, which he believes will bring him justice for his father's murder. Each stage in the game follows an important event in Afro's journey, leading to a final showdown with the man wearing The Number One.
The combat system is unique, allowing players to enter "focus mode" by slowing down time and executing a powerful "perfect slice" attack. This must be charged before use, represented by a pendant on Afro's sword.
