User Reviews

Samurai Shodown II's Android port delights fans with faithful arcade gameplay and a nostalgic roster, but suffers from frustrating issues including poor touch controls, broken external controller support, and overly difficult AI. Players praise its training mode and classic feel, yet criticize persistent bugs and lack of customization. The difficulty spikes and control quirks diminish the experience, leading to negative player frustration despite the game's core strengths.

Pros

Faithful port of the original arcade Samurai Shodown II, retaining nostalgic gameplay.
Great character roster and challenging gameplay true to the classic arcade experience.
Good training mode and combo attack lists that help players improve.
Game functions well overall without crashes during standard play on some devices.
Provides a nostalgic trip for fans of the original game and the series.

Cons

Poor touch controls, especially problematic with the virtual joystick causing difficulty executing moves.
Broken or no effective support for external controllers like Bluetooth or USB, often causing the game to exit to the menu unexpectedly.
Excessive and unfair AI difficulty, particularly from stage two onwards, making the game frustrating.
Lack of customization options such as button mapping and size adjustments for controls.
Bugs including character color glitches and broken multiplayer or controller features that remain unfixed for a long time.

(EDIT 3/25/24) Changing my rating to three stars, but I still feel this is a flawed game. The controls tend to be stiff and inconsistent, but the main flaw of this port is the difficulty. As stated before, SNK seems to have made the game even *more* difficult than the arcade original, even with concessions like the SP button. The CPU fights as if it were perpetually on level 8 regardless of the difficulty setting. It's a good game, but the difficulty makes things more frustrating than fun. 😒

One of my favorite childhood memories. Working great on mobile. Only issue is that it has no controller support. Please fix the issue as people are moving towards using controller on mobile phones
