(Second Match at 10:36 PM вЂ“ got through two somewhat laggy fights before a disconnect).ДЇights are short and to the point as damage is extremely high. It wasnвЂ™t about combos in those games as much as the mental game and Samurai Shodown has the same feeling. The latter had a great counter system that made every match a game of reads.

The former was so grounded that learning a character made you feel incredible as you tore into opponents with your knowledge of their particular fighting style. GameplayДЄs stated previously, Virtua FighterВ and Dead or AliveВ are at the top of my fighting game list. They play the same, but they look fashionably old school. Some of the skins call back to their earlier appearances and have a pixelated low poly look. The characters also have a great deal of detail and all are wonderful to look at.

After playing just a game or two with any character, you can generally get a feel for the character and hold your own at low levels.

The game has depth and feels a bit more like a mental battle instead of a game where you have to learn every combo. No character feels like a clone of another and I appreciate this a great deal. In addition, a wide variety of other characters have been added all with unique playstyles. So the Epic Game Store is where I got my first taste of the game and I was very happy to see all the characters from the original that I remembered. IвЂ™ve watched the game played on console but have not tested it there myself. On the Epic Game Store, you get a huge roster with all of the DLC characters that have been released on console.

IвЂ™ll be honest, I havenвЂ™t followed the game heavily since those early days, leaning more towards Dead or Alive and Virtua Fighter.В Now with the PC release, IвЂ™ve had a chance to dig in to the game and I must say, besides a couple of little issues, it brings back those old feelings. It stood up next to games like Street FighterВ and Mortal CombatВ and due to the large sprite work and interesting weapon mechanics became a go-to for my group of friends.

Samurai Showdown has been a series that I enjoyed a great deal since I first played the original on an SNK machine in the arcade. With that preamble out of the way, let us get in to talking about the actual game itself. For reference, I have opponent rank set to anyone, region to all, and connection speed to any. I decided while I wait to get in another game IвЂ™ll work on this review and timestamp where I find another match. I am mentioning this because I have been in the ranked matchmaking section of Samurai Shodown for PC for about 15 minutes. The company also said that it is having ongoing discussions to bring its games to mobile platforms.It is currently 10:26 PM CST as I start to write this review. In another interview with Game Focus back in December 2018, SNK said that it had turned down offers from platform holders, insisting on releasing Samurai Shodown on all platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, so that everyone is aware about the revival of SNK. Notably, the Epic Games Store has been snatching up exclusivity for games such as Metro Exodus, Borderlands 3, Close to The Sun, Phoenix Point, and most recently, Shenmue 3. Kuroki also explained that he met with his reports and said, вЂњI know that there is a big expectation from the outside as well as the company,вЂќ but he was вЂњconfident in the perfection of the game.вЂќД®xclusivity deals have been causing disruption in the PC gaming community recently. Kuroki elaborated on the reasoning behind his refusal, saying that the retailer wanted to sell Samurai Shodown on its PC platform with the condition of a pre-order of hundreds of thousands of copies in exchange for exclusivity, but declined as he believed that the game would be a title to sell more than a million copies. He did not share the name of the company. In an interview with Korean website Game Focus, SNK director Nobuyuki Kuroki noted that a PC retailer approached SNK to offer a deal regarding exclusivity for Samurai Shodown. SNK, the Japanese developer behind the King of Fighters series, has revealed that it turned down a deal for PC exclusivity for its upcoming title Samurai Shodown.
