Samurai Shodown is a reboot of the 2D fighting game series by presenting it with a new 3D graphical look. However, the developer has worked hard to retain the classic fantasy Samurai manga look of the series.

Each of the fighters has a personal mission, which leads them to encounter many of their former foes.
