The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A tense, methodical blade-based fighting game where each strike feels deliberate and powerful, with responsive controls and a sleek, high-contrast visual style.

About

Samurai Shodown: Special Edition returns as a brand-new game featuring high-end visuals and gameplay! The physical Special Edition includes the Season 1 Pass AND the new DLC Cham Cham character. Samurai Shodown has enjoyed worldwide success as a blade-wielding fighting game series since its first release in 1993. Faithfully reproducing the game mechanics and atmosphere that contributed to the success of the series, SAMURAI SHODOWN includes a revolutionary feature that learns players’ game actions and patterns in order to create CPU-controlled “ghost” characters. With its story set one year before the very first installment, warriors and combatants from various backgrounds and with their own goals are about to battle to fulfill their destinies!
