How to Play Crimson Samurai

Mission is simple. Survive the horde. Your samurai auto-moves forward and shoots. You dodge. Collect XP orbs. Build power. Hunt down the boss hiding somewhere in the chaos. Maybe secrets help. Maybe they don't.

Core Movement & Combat

Character shoots automatically. No aiming needed. Use WASD to slide around the screen. Enemy bullets coming? Move. Experience points drop everywhere. Walk through them. Level up mid-fight. Dodge patterns matter more than raw firepower here.

Survival & Progression
