For some reason they didn't put this version of SS5 on the 'complete' collection so if you are a SS aficionado completion can only be achieved with this one on tow... or just emulate it... you do you :)

It works with Proton 7.0-6 on Linux/Debian 11 Operating System. Funcionou com Proton 7.0-6 no Sistema Operacional Linux/Debian 11.

This game is good. Probably top 5 fighting game of all time, I usually play other versions since this one doesnt have spectating or a lobby system. But it's worth to buy it.

I wish I could play this game, but the entire screen flashes red anytime you connect an attach which is very distracting and uncomfortable. It's unfortunate that was originally in the game in 2004 and so there's nothing you can do to cannot turn it off. Before purchasing, I recommend watching clips of the game and make the decision if it bothers you. Personally, I can't play it, but I'm leaving a positive review to support the support Code Mystics gives to these classic games.

I have been a fighting game fan ever since Capcom and SNK came into the scene. Street Fighter II, Street Fighter Alpha, Fatal Fury, Art Of Fighting, all these titles mentioned are a good starting point if you want to get into the fighting games genre. Samurai Shodown is no exception, it simply takes what we knew about fighting games and adds weapons. Samurai Shodown V takes everything that is Samurai Shodown and packs it all into one. (It's a combination of Samurai Shodown I-IV and put into 1 game) Every character is unique in a way that stands out from other fighting games. Some characters are short, some characters are tall, some characters have short range attacks, some characters have long range attacks. Some characters even have animal companions, such as a wolf or eagle, and can be used to attack your enemies. There is a wide range of characters to choose from. You've got ninjas, samurais, monks, ronins, even a demon. So many characters, each with their own attacks and abilities. The graphics and animations are fantastic. It keeps that anime style while making the game graphically gory and combat exciting. One thing I will mention is that this game is best played with a good controller. Not that there's anything wrong with a keyboard, but having a controller will give you the proper feel of a fighting game. Controls can be changed, however, please keep in mind which buttons you set as this also effects the menu selections. ("A" button is the "Select" button while "B" button is the "Cancel" button, keep this in mind) I personally own the PS2 version of this game and plays just as good. An overall fantastic game that you will definitely enjoy. Whether it's 2 player or single player, there's plenty of characters to learn and keep you busy. For the price of $9.99, it's not bad, but if it's on discount, even better. A good fighting game to have in your list of other fighting games. My only personal gripe is that they left out Genan, Earthquake, Wan-Fu, and Seiger. A bit disappointing as I loved Genan for his "Freddy Krueger" claw as a weapon, and had some really awesome attacks to go with him. (I am sure there's plenty more they left out, but those 4 were my favorite) (Fact = Although this is more of a reference to the first Samurai Shodown, this game is actually based on a movie called "Samurai Reincarnation", which is loosely based on an actual historical event that happened hundreds of years ago. The movie is about Amakusa, who gets reincarnated, helps bring back warriors and tries to take over the world with his powers. Jubei, a samurai warrior (Played by Sonny Chiba), is the defender and tries to stop Amakusa's plans. I personally like the movie, although it can get a bit boring and dramatic in some spots, but a good story if you like that kind of thing.)
