Play Samurai Shodown IV - Amakusa's Revenge / Samurai Spirits - Amakusa Kourin Online

Game Overview

Samurai Shodown IV is one of those old-school fighters where every slash feels like it could be your last. You pick from a roster of warriors—some quick and nimble, others slow but brutal—and then it’s just you, your sword, and a whole lot of tension. The fights are fast but deliberate; mistime a swing, and you’ll lose half your health in one counterattack.

Amakusa’s the big bad here, and he’s as cheap as arcade bosses come—expect to lose a few rounds before figuring out his patterns. The pixel art still holds up, especially the dramatic zoom-ins when someone’s about to land a killing blow. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a duelist in feudal Japan (minus the actual dying part), this is the game for it.
