SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL, the last official NEO GEO game, is finally available in its original uncensored form on PS4™ and PS Vita!


Heralded as one of the most balanced fighting games ever created by SNK, SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL features a multitude of systems and mechanics to create a truly unique experience. Players have a wide variety of skills at their disposal, such as the ability to deflect attacks, catch an opponents weapon and disarm them, and the ability to temporarily slow down time to mount a comeback! The most iconic additions this entry adds to the series are the character specific Overkill moves, which can be used to finish off an opponent in a variety of gruesome ways!


This release features Leaderboards and Trophies, and also introduces other new content such as Online Multiplayer, a Gallery full of unlockable character designs and art, and the ability to customize the in-game menu BGM.
