![]() ![]() ![]() So the game has great combat but very little in terms of story. ![]() The sound quality is also pretty great and the slashes from your weapon sound amazing, while the voice action is okay, but not amazing. However, those incidents were few and far between. On a technical note, I experienced no FPS drops or big issues, with the only small graphical glitch being that sometimes characters’ clothing clips into their body. It is absolutely fantastic and feels so great to play, thanks to the game’s extremely smooth FPS and beautiful, anime-style graphics. ![]() The weapon-based, slower combat really makes it feel as if you are in a one-on-one samurai duel where every misstep can have dire consequences, like being chopped in half after not reading your opponent correctly. Weapon-based, slower combat really makes it feel as if you are in a one-on-one samurai duel I’m used to the high-speed fights of Mortal Kombat and Injustice, but Samurai Shodown with its weapon-based combat and slow one-on-one duels really changes up the pace, a welcome change at that. This high-stakes, methodical gameplay with slower movement is where Samurai Shodown shines the brightest. Basically, the story isn’t memorable at all but I won’t spoil the ending for you anyway. There’s even a timer tracking how long you take to complete it and it only takes a hour or two to complete, depending on how long you take to kill the final boss, featuring multiple phases and throwing your standard slow, methodical gameplay Samurai Shodown does so well out of the window for the first and (thankfully) only time. The thing is, the story felt so crazy and foreign to me that I didn’t really connect with it at all. I picked Earthquake (because it was one of the only non-Japanese names, so I could pronounce and spell it), a massive fighter that reminded me a bit of Majin Buu from the Dragon Ball Z anime and set off on a quest to pillage the lands, possibly even clearing it from evil while eating some chicken. You can pick any of the 16 unique fighters and start your journey, fighting through the game’s levels with some cool character intros. ![]()
