This game is not so easy to grt these days. But here, on GOG we have it! Only missing online play with leaderboards. Hope anytime that feature will be added. If so I will change my score to 5 stars rating.
Have been on a slight SNK spree as of late and I was quite glad to find this game available here on GOG.
Have long wanted to test Samurai Shodown, and as such now I finally have the chance. From what I have played so far it seems like the game is a more footsies focused fighter, being less about long combos and more about timing and spacing with single, powerful strikes.
From what I have tested so far it seems like quite the solid port, if a tad bit basic, of the arcade classic. There are no things such as a training mode or the like. It is pretty much a 1 to 1 of the original.
I will say though that I dock one star due to this port lacking the feature to disable all the flashing. Out of the classic arcade ports that I have tested (Garou, KOF98, Last Blade 2) this is the only one that lacks the feature, and yet it was perhaps the one that needed it the most due to just how aggressive the flashing can be as it can easily cause headaches.
Though aside from that and the somewhat lean features, I have really liked it. Hope to see more from SNK here in the future.
