Samurai Shodown II Reviews
The first game was already a well put together fighter, but Samurai Shodown II improves on it with an expanded cast and additions to the gameplay that add to the fighting experience without over-complicating things. This is still a game that requires thought, but when you do spy your opportunity fights can be over quickly. Even if they're not, they can still be fast-paced as you each use various means to avoid getting hit and the new weapon-breaking moves can help turnaround certain defeat - or lead to you looking a bit foolish if you get defeated by an unarmed opponent. There's plenty of one-on-one fighters on the Switch, but this is one of the best.
A game that pulls out all the stops to provide perfect competition against the big titles, just by being completely different. Nowadays, games just want to improve, look more realistic, have a lifelike appearance or a completely unique style. The arrival of this classic to the Nintendo Switch has once again proved that not everything is about beautiful looks.
