So there's not too press out for this game currently, or much media aside from footage from game conventions. However, I highly anticipate it all the same.
Samurai Gunn is a competive arena based local multilayer game that supports up to four players. Think Smash Bros, but on crack. Every hit is a one shot kill. Precision & Twitch reflexes seem to be a big component here.
Players are armed with a sword & a gun, but only have three shots to a life. Bullets can be deflected & sword swings can be parried. The first person to 10 kills wins. However, if two players get close to a draw they'll enter a showdown, where the first to kill wins, swords only. I happened to see a live feed of the game being played by it's creators, & the gameplay looks pretty intense to me,
Here's a video of two people duelling at Fantastic Arcade;

Apparently the game is slated for release on PC in January, 2014. & Also coming out for PS4 & Vita.
The game creator, Teknopants, is apparently developing a single player mode for the game as well. I have no idea how that will fair in contrast to the multiplayer but I'm hoping it's just as intense.

Here's a link to an article about the game;

This game looks great, so far. I'm always itching for more really fun and intense 4-player local multiplayer games, and this looks like my friends and I would enjoy it very much. I don't own a Vita and I'm not getting a PS4, so... PC it is! January isn't terribly far away, fortunately.

That makes it sound like a step down though

"...There will also be a single-player campaign that consists of short, brutal segments where you'll need to solve interesting puzzles using your gun, sword, or jumping skills. You may need to figure out the best way to cut through a bamboo forest to attack an enemy, or you may be ambushed by ninja on a bridge and you'll have to fight them both off. Another level may ask you to evade a boar that's chasing you through a forest. You have one life, and if you die, you must begin again. “Beating it wil be very difficult,” Blyth said..."

Sounds intense, but it looks so fun to play! Do they have a demo yet?
