About

SAMURAI SHODOWN V PERFECT is the ultimate culmination of the original 2D fighting series bringing together 28 playable characters including every boss from previous installments, alongside Overkill techniques, refined balance, and system updates developed between SAMURAI SHODOWN V and SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL. This definitive version adds further tuning and improvements for both single player and competitive play along with fully expanded story content for every character, delivering the most complete version of the classic SAMURAI SHODOWN V experience.

Legendary character designer Shiroh Ohno, known for SAMURAI SHODOWN III and SAMURAI SHODOWN: Tales of the Bushido, returns to the franchise for the first time in over two decades to create exclusive new cast illustrations of every character for this arcade release.

The blood flows again with a toggleable violence setting. All Overkills and violence effects have been fully restored in the arcade version of SAMURAI SHODOWN V PERFECT letting players feel every slash, every strike and every decisive finish with ultra-fast controls that exceed the original Neo Geo hardware.

Relive the golden age of weapon based fighting.

 

Story

In the world of bushido, over mountains of corpses, across rivers of blood lies the way of the sword
