The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai (XBLA)

The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai is a 2-D stylistic action platformer for Xbox LIVE® Arcade showcasing fast action, deep ga more »meplay, and a unique visual style. An undead samurai dishwasher in a dystopian universe is on a quest for revenge against the evil cyborg army. To dispatch hordes of zombies, cyborgs, and robots, the Dishwasher has at his fingertips a devastating array of attacks using ancient blades, disturbing machinery, and screen-obliterating Dish Magic. Compete with the rest of the world in a variety of speed run and high score challenges to become the most formidable Dishwasher yet! * Fresh take on gameplay: Gameplay in The Dishwasher is a fresh take on popular stylistic action combat, taking combo- and timing-intensive combat into a 2-D, blood-soaked environment emphasizing speed, vertical movement, and maneuverability, and player-driven pacing to create a truly unique, fluid and visceral experience, with an appealingly psychotic art style. * New game modes with guitar peripheral: The Dishwasher has arcade co-op, drop-in solo campaign co-op, and drop-in solo phantom guitar co-op using the guitar peripheral. Phantom guitar players can unload electric death by playing wicked solos, perform basic movement, and use the guitar's motion control to rip through enemies with a razor-sharp headstock. * The power of XNA: The Dishwasher is a testament to the power of XNA. The game was created by one guy with no professional game development experience (and a self-described lousy programmer) in about a year and a half. « less

Didn't like it

Truly overrated. Everyone seems to love it, but its just boring button mashing at best. It's not a terrible game, its just not as good as people make it out to be.

I actually got a chance to play with the developer, James from Ska, in this game. Cool dude and let me tell you he did a fantastic job on this game. The game is extremely hard but addictive in a sick sort of way. The story is prett cool considering it was just made up on the fly. graphics are unique in a good way. I'm not saying there a "looker" but they have a sort of homebrew flare to them. Overall this game is a definite recommend for…

It’s freakishly addictive and truly hardcore. It’s the real deal: frantic 2-D button mashing hack ‘em up platformer madness. It has the same pick up and play fun that, say, Castle Crashers did, yet provides an extra little gameplay jolt for the discriminating gamer in the form of its combo system. Just like Castle Crashers, the combo system is basic enough to allow anyone to play, but, unlike Castle Crashers, you’re actually compelled to exploit the combo system to try out different moves with different weapons. That’s where the fun…
