3.5/5 ★ – prophet180037's review of SAMURAI SHODOWN.

The actual fighting is fun, but the game is pretty bare bones as far as content. No real story mode, just an arcade ladder disguised as a story. Basic tutorial, practice, online, and a weird dojo where you fight ghosts that are supposed to represent real players, but are incredibly easy and make strange decisions constantly. Graphics are hit and miss depending on if you like the art style. Combat is very slow paced and deliberate. Almost no combos in this game and some moves can take away 2/3ds of a life bar. Worth picking up if you love fighting games, but there are much better ones out there.
