As players progress through the game, they'll certainly be taught a few harsh lessons in how bad their skill levels are, especially against characters like Draco, who are just harsh.Įverything just feels a bit lacklustre though, and this goes right through the game. They also try to use variety with their own moves and certainly aren't afraid to throw in lots of cheap sweet attacks to catch players off guard. If players simply resort to using cheap moves, it will eventually adapt. The AI is pretty decent throughout the game.
This can actually be stored up in-between rounds too. If players receive a certain amount of damage, they can also power up, and enter Rage Mode, by pressing all three attack buttons. To round off the player's possible actions, there is also a block and parry system implemented into the game. A throw is also present, but it's fairly tame and the AI will generally block its usage. There are also powered up versions of these which can cause considerably damage if they hit, as well as a special move which requires some charge time. These can be combined in some capacity to form combos, and some moves involve pressing buttons at the same time. It's quite disappointing really, especially given some of the potential the characters have due to their weapon choices.Įssentially though, players have access to a kick, vertical strike and horizontal strike. Moves don't really flow that well together and it makes the gameplay feel very stop-start. The move sets are actually quite limited and while there is a combo system present, it's extremely clunky and wooden. It doesn't make a huge amount of difference though, as they are all as awkward to use as each other. There is a huge selection of characters to choose from, and they are all put into quite loose categories like "Speed" or "Tricky". Instead it's been made into a disjointed affair that doesn't really have any relevance to anything - even when compared to the fighting game stereotypes. The cast of Samurai Shodown Sen is one of its strongest points, and if they wanted to they could make a colourful story. The few cutscenes that are featured during the story are at least tailored to the selected character, which is something, as they will react in different ways to the statements that are put to them. It doesn't sound very interesting, and that's probably because it's not. It basically involves the selected character randomly travelling around various parts of the world, all while an evil general called Golba is attempting to do something sinister. Both games have really grown since then and Samurai Shodown decided that 3D was the way to go Samurai Shodown Sen is the fourth iteration of the game to appear in 3D.įor those who care, there is a very slim story for players to grasp on to. The biggest difference was the type of combat though, as while Street Fighter was about purely hand-to-hand, Samurai Shodown, as the name suggests, was about weapons-based combat. These three new characters will be present alongside Charlotte, Earthquake, Galford, Genjuro, Hanzo, Haohmaru, Jubei, Kyoshiro, Nakoruru, Shiki, Tam Tam, Ukyo and Yoshitora.Samurai Shodown is one of the oldest fighting franchises, originally appearing back in 1993 and at the time there were many similarities in the gameplay to another big fighting franchise, Street Fighter.
