What once appeared to be a Samurai Showdown clone with nicer graphics and a couple of gimmicks suddenly becomes its superior in almost every way. This, of course, is subject to opinion. I love the Samurai Showdown series a lot, but I just think that this game is everything Samurai Showdown 5 should have been, and more. The characters are amongst the best in SNK's already rich repertoire, the animation and backgrounds are second to none and the gameplay is unique and has unparalleled depth.
