| | Samurai Shodown IV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | After Samurai Shodown III was received more or less poorly by the fighting game community, SNK again went back to address the complaints, and tried to deliver a followup that would hopefully regain some of the magic that had made SS2 such a hit. | | | Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa's Revenge (Japanese title: Samurai Spirits: Amakusa Kourin / サムライスピリッツ天草降臨) is the fourth in SNK's flagship Samurai Shodown series of fighting games. | | | The most obvious change is visual, with dramatically adjusted color palettes for the individual characters which seem propotianally bigger than other games, generally brightening them up and reducing contrast, in the attempt to make the game more cartoonish. |

| | Samurai Shodown Review |
| | Samurai Shodown's is unique among SNES fighting games in its visual style and tone. | | | Samurai Shodown is, at one level, a Street Fighter 2 clone with a medieval Japanese setting, and, at another level, an elegant ballet of fist, feet, and swords. | | | Samurai Shodown is more of an alternate universe, what-if scenario than an accurate portrayal of history (since the body of the real-life Amakusa was never found, what if he was just asleep all this time and awoke one day for revenge?). |

| | Samurai Shodown V Review for Xbox - Gaming Age |
| | As previously discussed, a proper strategy and understanding of gameplay mechanics is required for players to succeed in the game. | | | Going by the above, Samurai Shodown V is unquestionably one of those deeper games. | | | For the longest time, message board denizens have been arguing about the "depth" of various fighting games. |

| | Samurai Shodown V is a one-on-one fighting game like all its predecessors, letting you pick one of more than two-dozen colorful characters and take on your opponent in a fight to the finish. | | | Samurai Shodown V Xbox Live Hands-On We bust and slash our way through a nearly complete, Live-enabled version of this NeoGeo fighting game. | | | However, judging by this latest version we played, you can expect all the classic Samurai Shodown characters to make a comeback, and for the action to play just as well against the computer as against other players on Xbox Live. |

| | Samurai Shodown is one of the more common games for the Neo Geo, and collectors can find the game at various sources on the internet for between $40 and $70. | | | Known as “Samurai Spirit” in Japan, the game featured twelve unique and very memorable characters, each with their own different strengths and weaknesses. | | | SNK, or Shin Nihon Kikaku, started out in the 80s by making games for the Famicom. |

| | Samurai Shodown 5 |
| | Samurai Shodown 5 boasts the highest number of warriors ever in the series, but unfortunately, the game seems to have lost it's overall "feel." The game, instead of being traditional, semi-serious swordplay, has been brought into the ultra-fantasy realm, as some of the characters aren't even near "samurai-ish."... | | | It "somewhat" takes the place of Samurai Shodown 3 and 4, for those of us who still play those games. | | | It still plays very similar to Samurai Shodown 3 and 4. |

| | Sure, players all have their favorite and least favorite installments, but the series has generally retained its rep as a unique and stylish fighting game. | | | The action is as deliberately paced as usual, which is quite a change from other fighting games. | | | Unfortunately, a lot of the other graphics are cribbed from prior games and somehow look worse. |

| | General: Samurai Shodown is a two-player fighting game much like Capcom's long-running fighting series, Street Fighter 2, but instead of fighting with fists, these characters use weapons. | | | Some characters even have animals that tag along with them, and can be used against their opponent in the midst of battle. | | | And as a great game itself, Samurai Shodown 1 was the seed that started a truly memorable 2D fighting series! |

| | Samurai Shodown (or Samurai Spirits as it was known in Japan) was a hit 2D side-scroller that featured twelve weapon wielding fighters. | | | SNK is claiming a total of twenty three different combo moves in Samurai Shodown V, with eight of these moves solely designed for the Xbox version of the game. | | | The Neo Geo games were so expensive because they were supposedly ROM’s taken directly from SNK’s impressive lineup of coin-op titles. |

| | Before Samurai Shodown the Neo-Geo featured interesting but otherwise empty fighting games such as Fatal Fury or the afore mentioned, bra-exposing Art of Fighting (it's frightening what one remembers about these games). | | | The Japanese version of the game is called Samurai Spirits, you see, and the title animation would have required additional tweaking if they spelled showdown correctly. | | | Renaming games for no apparent reason was pretty common. |

| | Amazon.com: Samurai Shodown: Computer & Video Games |
| | In terms of actual play, there are a lot of combos and special attacks that you can execute, and Samurai Shodown seems to rely more upon strategy and critical hits then the typical 2D fighter, which is a good thing. | | | It's a fighting game where, instead of relying upon mere punches and karate kicks, you're wielding broadswords and cleavers (though sometimes your weapon does get knocked out of your hands and you have to restort to fists and feet, which is a pretty cool touch of realism). | | | However, I am uncertain as to whether this is really a hardware limitation or simply game design, because I've seen Samurai Shodown in the arcades before (uh, quite a few years ago) but I don't remember how fast it played. |

| | NGFL - Samurai Shodown 2 Review |
| | Personally, I like all of them, but I don't really like comparing the first two with Samurai Shodown 3 and 4 because they had a big overhaul and were quite different to the first two games; they are very good in their own way, so check out my review on them. | | | You can duck most projectiles in Samurai Shodown 2, and there are also a couple of taunts that each character can perform (press A+C or B+D) The new fighters deserve a mention too. | | | I must admit that this Samurai game holds the biggest place in my heart though. |

| | Samurai Shodown III Review |
| | Gone are many of the fun and funny fan favorites (Genjuro, Earthquake, Wan-Fu, Caffeine Nicotine, Charlotte, Jubei, and Tam-Tam/Cham-Cham among others), and in their place we find a few decidedly darker (and rather vague) characters to go with the more serious theme. | | | Now if that isn't the sign of a rush job (they corrected that on part four), then I don't know what is. After beating as vicious and cheap a boss as Zankuro, you expect to see something more rewarding, more impressive than... | | | While the game isn't terrible, its rushed qualities make it the black sheep of the series. |

| | As I said in my review of Samurai Shodown II, I don't like to compare the first two games to the third and fourth too much, because they are very different styles of game; if I had to compare them all I would say is that I am split between it and Samurai Shodown 2. | | | For me personally I think SS2 edges it, especially considering the amount of time I've put into that game and the fact that I still play it even today. | | | So, the most important question: is this a good game? |
