For those of us who like a little tough love with our games, Dishwasher's ironclad challenge and simple-but-effective design scratch an itch few games can reach. [Feb 2009, p.83]

For a single designer, though, a cracking effort. [Issue#40]

A 2D fighter with a 3D combo system; The Dishwasher is a huge chunk of game for a small price. [Apr 2009, p.102]

This is the best xbox live game i have ever played besides limbo the drawings are different and cool looking the fighting is fun and the executions are brutal the storyline isnt that great but at the very least its interesting theres also an arcade mode where you play through 50 levels of enemies the weapons are neat and this game very very hard so i do not suggest this for people who throw their controllers at their tv

Probably the most fun I have had playing an XBLA game, so far. With its simple to learn and use controls to the ton of levels you can play, I can see why this game was so talked about when it made its first run on the XNA.

As a complete package, The Dishwasher : Dead Samurai is good value at 800 points, and is a nice modern touch on a classic arcade style.

An incredibly fun (albeit seriously depraved) experience. If you're a fan of side-scrolling games and aren't easily offended, grab the demo at least - just be sure and play it long after the kids have gone to bed.

James Silva and Ska Studios did a good job with The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, a very nice beat'em up without a deep storyline, but a great gameplay that remind us the classic games of the genre. This is not the "new Castle Crashers", but it's really a game that deserves an opportunity.

For a game that won an amateur game design contest, this lacks in both imagination and implementation.
