SAMURAI SHODOWN

Set one year before the first SAMURAI SHODOWN, the game brings warriors with different backgrounds and goals into weapon-based duels. Choose a fighter from a roster of distinct characters and face opponents in a 2D fighting game presented with 3D visuals. Combat centers on timing, spacing, defense, and punishing mistakes rather than long combo strings. Strong attacks can cause heavy damage, so a single opening can change a match. Fighters can also disarm opponents, while taking damage builds a Rage Gauge that enables powerful techniques. Play story and arcade modes, or take on time trials, survival, and gauntlet challenges. A tutorial and training mode help players learn the mechanics; the game’s Ghost system learns from player actions to create CPU-controlled opponents that can be shared and challenged.

A samurai weapon fighter where warriors duel with lethal strikes, careful spacing, counters, and rage-fueled special attacks.
