WHAT REVIEWS ARE SAYING:

nodpad.com: "Gameplay: The effort the developers put into this game is quite noticeable."…"realism in a fighting game is necessary to attract someone, and Zanshin is full of it. It's probably the best and most realistic martial arts tournament combat game I've ever seen"

LuthienT: "I am very impressed with this game. I love that it is accessible to a newby but allows for much more advanced play as you gain skill. This is a lot of game for the money."

kung_fool: "I've been waiting for a simulation-style martial arts game on the iPhone, and among the sea of sound-boards and 8-bit arcade clones, only Zanshin scratches that itch."
