June 2025
Great game to play with friends Unlike any other fighting game, Samsho does its own thing and does it well . With its dense atmosphere carried by a superior soundtrack and vivid sceneries, the game feels intuitive, read-based, with short combos or almost no combos at all, brutal damage evoking weapon combat, and the system allows for plenty of mindgames and cool outplay potential. The fight can go from deceptively slow-paced to lightning fast in a flash. The belated retrofitting of rollback netcode makes for a smooth online experience (though like in EVERY game, it's not gonna save poor network conditions). It's basically the perfect side game that respects your time and doesn't require ungodly amounts of practice. And yet there is depth to be found. NB: my playtime isn't accurate as i've played this game on other platforms too Iza! Jinjou ni... shoubu!

Samurai Shodown is a rather unusual fighting game in several respects. Here we have a completely different fighting technique, which involves waiting for the right moment to strike. The blows themselves are very strong, which makes combos practically unnecessary here. Each of the characters, including those from the DLC, stands out with the methods of attacking and special moves. There is no best or worst character here. Play it and get to know a very interesting storyline. It's just a shame that the multiplayer is completely deserted.

This game is the best Samurai-based fighting game ever created. It is a ton of fun. It is a discord fighter, but a very active and welcoming small community. It's not too late to learn!

If it wasn't for my love of this game, I could care less, but this game will most likely NOT launch when you install it and let me give you a quick fix (Thank you u/Pod764) Go the the game on steam, right click on it, select properties and copy & paste the following under launch options: cmd /c "set OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x20000000 && %command%" It's ridiculous that this needs to be done to launch, but it seems most of the deep cut fighting games like KOF XIII have some small issue preventing them from running on modern PCs. Enjoy!
