Is Samurai Shodown Anthology still worth playing in 2026?
A versus fighting compilation from SNK, Samurai Shodown Anthology gathers the main episodes of the famous sword fighting series, where duellists clash in tense jousts betting on weapon range, the timing of blows and the brutality of the blades, faithfully emulated from their arcade versions. The depth of the weapon combat system, the artistic quality of the sprites and the diversity of fighters appeal to retro versus fans. The minimalist presentation stays sober. For a fan of fighting games or a Neo Geo nostalgic, the title keeps a perfectly preserved depth and charm.
