Samurai Shodown Review | A slice of nostalgia done right

By Tyler Treese

It makes sense to be skeptical whenever a company decides to bring back a dormant franchise. For every game that keeps the spirit of the original intact, there’s a Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry or the Commander Keen mobile game that are either pale imitations or disgraces to the name. Thankfully for fighting game fans, SNK’s new entry in the SAMURAI SHODOWN series is…

  • Deep fighting mechanics that work for new and old players.
  • Solid netcode.
  • Memorable characters with interesting backstories.
  • Limited online options.
  • Let me commit suicide (in the game)!
  • Long loading screens.
