The Game Boy Advance's final release in the U.S. is an action-oriented adaptation of the manga and subsequent animé, Samurai Deeper Kyo. Select one of four playable characters and battle groups of enemies in hack-and-slash combat over 11 distinct stages, each culminating in a one-on-one boss battle. Perform jumps, standard attacks, and character-specific special abilities powered by an energy meter. In addition to the main story mode, Samurai Deeper Kyo features an arcade option that has you fighting waves of enemies until you are defeated. Originally published in Japan in 2002, Samurai Deeper Kyo was bundled along with the 26-episode DVD set for the U.S. market. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
