Samurai Shodown V
About the Game
Seven years after the fourth game in the series, Samurai Shodown returns. In the game's time frame, this is the earliest game, hence the Japanese title Samurai Spirits Zero . It takes place in 1786 from January through the later summer. The game is therefore considered a prequel to the series.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The overall gameplay was slightly altered. It is a little faster, and the Slash/Bust system has been removed. The basic moves have been modeled after the first games in the series.
Standout Features
- Bust: Each character now has only one version, or the Bust mode is simply replaced by a new character of very similar setup.
- There are 24 characters, a familiar cast with some new faces.
Modes & Ways to Play
Player support includes Free-for-all / One-on-one (VS).
