Play Samurai Shodown IV Amakusa's Revenge Samurai Spirits Amakusa Kourin neo geo Online

Game Overview

Okay, so Samurai Shodown IV is one of those classic Neo Geo fighters where you pick your warrior, swing a sword, and hope you don’t get bisected in the process. The roster’s got everyone from Haohmaru with his giant headband to Galford and his hyperactive ninja dog—yeah, that’s a thing. Amakusa’s the big bad here, and he’s got this whole undead priest vibe going on.

What I love is how weighty the combat feels. Landing a clean slash has this satisfying thunk, and messing up means watching your health bar vanish in two hits. There’s no fancy combos to memorize—just spacing, timing, and trying not to panic when your opponent starts glowing red. The pixel art’s gorgeous too, all dramatic close-ups and blood splatters that still hold up.

It’s not as flashy as modern fighters, but that’s the point. You either outsmart someone or get wrecked. Perfect for when you want a match that feels like an actual duel instead of a button-mashing contest.
