Trek to Yomi is a side-scrolling action game heavily inspired by old fashioned Japanese samurai films with supernatural elements.

The black and white grainy film aesthetic is artistically beautiful and makes it stand out. However, combined with the somewhat awkward level design and the fixed camera angles, it can be hard to tell what you’re looking at or where you are supposed to go.

The combat is simple, and some sections a can be more annoying than difficult.

If you’re interested in samurai films or Japanese culture, I would recommend giving this game a try.
