Publication history

Shannon Appelcline commented that, aside from Hero Games, "Old company friend Gold Rush Games was another early publisher of licensed Fuzion games, beginning with Usagi Yojimbo (1997), based on the comic book adventures of a samurai rabbit."^[2]: 297

Reception

The reviewer from Pyramid #30 (March/April, 1998) stated that "Although the characters appear cartoonish, many of the stories are quite serious, and the violence in the comic book is sometimes graphic. Players of the RPG can mix-and-match seriousness and humor in their games as desired; the game definitely supports both."^[1]
