Features & Capabilities

Samurai Sudoku is a puzzle series built around five overlapping 9x9 grids. Each grid follows classic Sudoku rules, but the combined boards create a single, more complex challenge that tests planning and pattern recognition.

The extension includes five difficulty levels and diverse puzzle types like Gattai and Butterfly. Handy features include a Hint that auto-fills without causing conflicts, on-board number highlighting, autosave of unfinished levels, and tracking of best times. Game Center achievements and email support are available to help you progress.

User Reviews

Samurai Sudoku is praised for its broad puzzle variety and challenging gameplay, plus helpful features and good value. However, stability issues (crashes/freezes), ad-related disruptions, data/purchase loss after reinstall, video unlock problems, and occasional touch-input glitches detract from the experience for some users. Overall, strong gameplay and breadth of content are offset by reliability and monetization concerns.

Pros

Huge variety of puzzles and board types (including anti-diagonal and jigsaw variants) that keep gameplay fresh.
Challenging and engaging—great for players who want to think and be challenged.
Helpful features like answer-checking, easy switching between placing numbers and candidates, and memo auto-fill/double-tap conversions.
Long-term appeal and good value—players report years of enjoyment and reasonable pricing.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes with progress not being saved, sometimes requiring reinstall.
Ads cause disruption (pop-ups and gating) and can lead to data loss or blocking purchases.
Purchases and completed games can be lost or not restored after re-downloading the app.
Video-based unlocks often fail to load or work correctly, and orientation issues can block access.
Touch input can be unreliable on iPhone/iPad, requiring multiple taps for numbers.
