How it plays

How does Samurai Jack: The Amulet of Time play?

The game uses a side-scrolling perspective. Jack travels through stages set in different historical periods, defeats enemies with his sword, avoids hazards, and searches for useful items and amulet pieces.

Stages are built around platforming, combat encounters, environmental obstacles, and boss battles. Progress comes from completing areas and recovering the pieces needed to advance the story.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Samurai Jack: The Amulet of Time?

Learn enemy attack patterns before committing to sword strikes, especially in confined areas. Use platforming space to separate groups of enemies rather than fighting everything at once.

Search each stage carefully for amulet pieces and other useful items. Against bosses, prioritize survival and attack during their recovery animations instead of attacking continuously.
