First Samurai is not longer than I played for Hybris or RuffNTumble. And in the overall difficulty, it is easier than SWIV. Only drawback is, that it starts already difficult and gets then easier when level 1 and the first half of level 2 are done. It gets difficult again at the end boss of level 4, in level 7 and especially in level 9.
A Hint to the spiders in level 1: You need a sword for this. Run to middle of the "temple" and destroy the removable blocks while jumping higher, if you stand at the top no spiders will still fall. Then run/jump fast in the desired direction. So you can cross this rather easily.
The huge stone blocks can not be destroyed, but you can repel them with your sword.
As for the lantern, you can have active spikeballs and lantern together. Its more useful in the later levels, when some of the specials are hidden in the ceiling.
