SAMURAI SHODOWN II

Updated gog-3

Samurai Shodown II is a weapon-based fighting game featuring 15 playable warriors who engage in tactical one-on-one duels. Players select from returning fighters and new challengers like Cham Cham and Genjuro Kibagami, then fight using slashes, special moves, and defensive movement such as back-stepping and rushing forward. Success depends on timing, spacing, and managing the Rage Gauge, which boosts attack power when full. Weapon-Breaking Special Moves can disarm opponents, forcing them to fight unarmed. Each character has unique story-driven encounters as they pursue personal goals across varied stages.

About this game

SAMURAI SHODOWN II Overview

They’ve licked their wound, improved their techniques, and now they’re back! The world’s 15 fiercest warriors clang steel in a fast and furious fest of fencing festivties. Use new characters and new feints of Fury to hack, slice, dice and Julien fry your way to victory.

This is a fighting game released in 1994 that follows 15 samurais in their individual quests. The rage system, which was popular in the first game, has been further enhanced. Not only does attack power rise when the gauge is full, the player can also use a special technique that can break the opponent’s weapon and force the opponent to fight unarmed. The game also allows for more movement techniques such as back-stepping, rushing forward, and ducking, allowing for even more strategies. A fun and important detail of this game is that one of the new characters, Cham Cham, was voiced by voice actress Reiko Chiba, who is an idol in the gaming community.
