SAMURAI SHODOWN REVIEW ROUNDUP

24/6/2019

The modern fighting games renaissance is finally complete with SNK's rival of the classic samurai fighting series, Samurai Shodown. On June 25th the 12th game in the series arrives on all major consoles (The Switch version is coming later in 2019) with the game taking place before and between the events of the 1993 game and Samurai Shodown V. So naturally, major game critics have had their way with the game already and, have also penned their reviews. Here are five of them:
IGN 8.2/10
'For as much as Samurai Shodown manages to successfully modernize the classic fighting series and recapture the tension of its high-stakes duels, in other ways it remains woefully in the past.'

THE SIXTH AXIS 8/10
'Samurai Showdown is a strong entry into the sea of fighters, showing a lot of love for the original series, while also being able to appeal to newcomers. A few niggles aside, people are going to be playing Sam Show for a long time. EVO just got more exciting to watch!'

ESCAPIST MAGAZINE 9/10
'In calling its new game simply Samurai Shodown, SNK has made an honest declaration rather than a crass attempt to curry favor. This game is not a Samurai Shodown remake, nor is it truly a soft reboot. It is an old warrior returned after years of pilgrimage, its name newly earned and seasoned, its skills acuminated to a point so fine it’s invisible to the naked eye.'

EUROGAMER
'And it's the fighting where Samurai Shodown really shines, delivering a spin on the series that's approachable, deep and full of flair. Put the package next to the likes of Mortal Kombat 11, or Street Fighter 5 in its complete edition, and Samurai Shodown comes up seriously short. It has style in excess, though, and a swagger that is unmistakably, winningly old-school SNK. What a glorious thing it is.'

DESTRUCTOID 8/10
'Above all, Samurai Shodown proves that SNK still has its fighting spirit. King of Fighters XIV wasn't an accident and it seems like any future games won't be, either. Now we just need to get Capcom back on track.'

To read the full review click here. 
SAMURAI SHODOWN currently sits at a 82% on Metric after 16 reviews at the time of writing. It may not end up be the best fighter this year but it is looking like great fun. The rest of us can find out just how fun the game is when it releases tomorrow for the Xbox One and PS4.
