Item Description

A single clean slash can take a huge bite out of a life bar in Samurai Shodown, and that one fact changes how every match feels. SNK's 2019 return to its weapon-fighting series is built on patience and nerve rather than long combos: two fighters circle, test each other's reach and wait for the opening that decides the round. It was the first new Samurai Shodown in more than a decade, and instead of chasing modern fighting-game trends it went back to the tense, deliberate spirit of the 1993 original.

The rules are elegantly brutal. Light, medium and heavy sword strikes plus a kick make up the core, and the heavy slashes hit so hard that a single whiffed one can cost you the round. A Rage Gauge fills as you take damage; triggering Rage mode boosts your strength and opens up a disarming blow, but once it is spent, it is gone for the rest of the match. Every character also gets one Super Special Move per match, so the question of when to cash it in hangs over every exchange. Knock the sword out of an opponent's hands and the duel turns desperate, and the series' bloody finishing blows make a welcome return.

The roster leans on favorites: Haohmaru, the nature guardian Nakoruru, the ninja Galford with his dog Poppy, the ailing swordsman Ukyo Tachibana, plus Genjuro, Charlotte, Hanzo, Earthquake and more, joined by newcomers Darli Dagger, Wu-Ruixiang and Yashamaru Kurama. The story is set in 1787, before the events of the first game, as a possessed spirit named Shizuka Gozen threatens all of Japan. It was SNK's first game on Unreal Engine 4, and the studio used it to paint the action in a brushstroke, ink-wash style that suits feudal Japan beautifully. A trainable ghost AI that studies your habits and copies them gives you an unusually honest sparring partner.

Critics welcomed it as a faithful reboot, and it earned a Best Fighting Game nomination at The Game Awards 2019. On PS4 it is the fighter for players who prefer mind games to memorized strings: rounds are short, every hit carries weight, and the thrill of reading an opponent and landing the one heavy slash that ends it is as sharp here as it was in the arcades.
