In the midst of chaos and upheaval, the Lord of Amori-han bravely
chooses to raise an orphaned European princess as his own
daughter. This brave young girl, Suzuhime, matures to become a
warrior representing both East and West. The insidious Golba, a
veteran of the U.S. Revolutionary War, ranks para among her
foes, and a cadre of like-minded fighters flock to Japan to halt
his dark plans for global domination. Familiar faces from past
Samurai Shodown games (including Haohmaru, Nakoruru, and Ukyo)
battle alongside newcomers from all corners of the Earth to put
an end to Golba’s villainous designs. Victory on this crucial
conflict comes by any means necessary even if it means ending a
melee with grisly dismemberment or decapitations. Celebrate the
17th anniversary of SNK Playmore’s revered weapons-based fighting
franchise with the most brutal and visceral Samurai Shodown
installment ever produced – Samurai Shodown Sen. Set in 1791
during the twilight days of Japan’s feudal Edo period, this
latest iteration reveals a society on the brink of collapse, as
encroaching Western influences threaten to overrun the ancient,
once-hidden culture of lords, serfs, and samurai. Impressive 3D
visuals, huge roster of new and returning fighters, brutal
finishing moves and online play and leaderboards via Xbox Live
complete the series’ much anticipated rebirth on a next-gen
platform.
