Samurai Shodown II

Competing against other players

A classic SNK 2D weapon-based fighter where you pick one of 15 warriors and duel. Few, heavy hits, precise timing and spacing make every match tense.

Samurai Gunn

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A lightning-fast samurai arena brawler for up to four players where a single hit kills. With a sword and just three bullets, you deflect shots and duel in frantic pixel-art stages.

Real Bout Fatal Fury

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic SNK 2D fighter that builds on Fatal Fury with a plane-switching system between foreground and background lanes. Precise inputs and duels against friends or the CPU are the core of the experience.

Samurai Shodown III

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A weapon-based one-on-one fighter set in feudal Japan where heavy sword strikes, precise parries and timing decide every duel. Its darker tone and redesigned cast set the third entry apart from its more playful predecessors.

The Last Blade 2

Historical setting

An elegant SNK 2D weapon-based fighter set in late-Edo Japan, built around parries, timing and precise special moves. Hand-drawn anime fighters and an atmospheric soundtrack make it a genre classic.

Kiai Resonance

Competing against other players

A 2D samurai duelling game where a single unguarded hit kills. It's all about timing, reading your opponent and sharp parries, in versus matches or skill challenges.

Bushido Blade

Historical setting

An unconventional samurai sword-fighting classic where a single well-placed hit can be lethal. With no health bars, roomy 3D arenas and tense duels, it emphasizes realism and risk over typical fighting-game conventions.

The King of Fighters '94

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 2D fighter that introduced the 3-on-3 team format, letting you assemble a trio of fighters from SNK series like Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting. Precise inputs and versus duels are the focus, with Rugal's tournament serving as a light story frame.
