Chambara is an independent PC, PS4 and XONE game by Overly Kinetic studio created in the Dare to be Digital competition in 2014. A few months after the premiere of the early version of the production (available for free on the official website) in digital distribution on PCs, it was appreciated by the jury of British BAFTA awards. He received a statuette in the category Ones to Watch.

The game is an unusual project designed to play in a local multiplayer. The production action takes place in a two-colour world, in which we stand up to fight as a ninja. The gameplay is based on using colors to hide and attack enemies with surprise. If, for example, we are a black warrior, we become invisible by the wall of the same color, although the opponent looking at us not directly, but from the side, for example, can see the shape of the character, thus exposing us. The game is therefore based on quiet movement and careful observation of the environment, because literally every place can be endangered. Naturally, this also works the other way round.

The Cube: 9 / 10 by Zack Hage

Chambara is a multiplayer titan and courageously reinvents the wheel without fail. I could complain about the game’s lack of modes, but that goes against the entertainment you really are receiving. After all, nothing I’ve played this year matches this kinetic, effortless, and overall enticing concept.

PlayStation Universe: 8 / 10 by Kyle Prahl

The element of disguise makes Chambara surprisingly deep, though its shallow content leaves nothing for gamers uninterested in local multiplayer.
