This is one of the best games in the Samurai Shodown franchise, director Nobuyuki Kuroki managed to capture all the essence of the franchise in this title, a punitive game, but easy to learn, very beautiful graphics resembling a Japanese painting.

The amazing return of the franchise, Samurai Shodown brought again the return of nostalgic warriors, and the newcomers are also well acepted. The news graphics is very amazing and the gameplay is the better of Samurai Shodown games. SNK finally nailed it this time.

Juego de lucha entretenido, al estilo japonés con espadas, katanas... el modo historia es repetitivo, pero hay una gran variedad de personajes a elegir, si buscas un juego para pasar un rato divertido no lo dudes.

It's alright, but not as great as what people are hyping it up to be. It's a simple, punishing fighter reminiscent of the 2D fighters of the mid 90's. The exchanges are more mind games and baits than combos and pressure, and one mistake can cost you 50% life easily. While this game is fun, and the online is pretty stable (which is saying a lot for modern fighters), the overall feel lacks a sense of charm and spirit to it. The characters just all feel kind of bland, and the Street Fighter 4 art style is a bit of a turn off for me. The funnest thing about this game is punishing people online who are too aggressive and throw out reversal moves too often by taking off 50% of their life with a heavy attack. The defensive options are nice, and not many games nowadays emphasize them enough. Overall, the game can be fun, it's an alright fighter, but the art style has been done before and is not aesthetically pleasing at all, and the game just lacks any kind of lasting charm to it.
The ghost battles could have been something great and been done similar to a style of Virtua Fighter where they are you know, actually intelligent and learn your style so you can see the holes in it, but in SS they just dodge and swing randomly, even ghosts of top 100 players on the leaderboards, what a joke. Overall the game is easy to learn and to pass a few hours with. It's for sure a game to rent and have fun with for a week, but not worth $60 IMO.

Beautiful graphics.
Few default characters. Too many paid DLCs.
The loading time of the story mode is too long.
The last boss is too hard and his attack is too cowardly.

Not my type of fighting game. Its reminiscent of old school fighting games so i can see why some people would like it, but again it wasn't my jam.
