This is The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, winner of the Dream-Build-Play game development contest in 2007 held by Microsoft. It was designed entirely by a young man named James Silva.
This game is freaking awesome. The art style is amazing and as far as gameplay goes, it’s good ole 2D beat-em-up goodness.

Comentários com o criador do jogo:
Silva says the two-player cooperative, 2-D side-scrolling platform combat game takes a cue from Devil May Cry in its "stylish action look." But I found it a bit more like God of War, since the button mapping is identical -- heavy attack, light attack, jump and grab are in all the same places on the controller.
"It's got its own sort of fluidity to it, and it obviously takes its own life the way the combat pans out," says Silva as he shows me how the game's early zombie enemies can be taken out just by grabbing them once.
The finished game, which Silva expects to have completed in the next few months, will contain about 50 arcade-style pick-up-and-play challenges (the trial version has three), and a story mode in which you build and evolve your character.
Silva created the entirety of Dishwasher on his own, with minimal help from Microsoft. "Most of it is stuff I handle on my own. I did ask some technical questions to the XNA team, but for the most part it's pretty easy to figure out what you're doing," he says.
He has a masters in computer science, but said it wasn't really applicable to working in XNA. "School was mostly theory. It was good to get some sort of foundation, but XNA is all mostly self-taught."
Silva is quite happy with his current super-flexible work environment. "If I could keep doing this, that would be great," he says. "Or just keep the team small."
