The fourth part of Samurai Shodown makes a nice intro with a beautiful opening screen. This game features darker colors and bloody battles. Here, seventeen fighters are already offered to your attention. Impressive battles are accompanied by beautiful special effects. A little more realism was devoted to the movements of the samurai than in the previous parts. The fighters show how they writhe in pain with severe cuts. The ruler of life has doubled. This allows you to enjoy the battle a little longer.
