Samurai Shodown 2, originally released for the Arcade in 1994, is now available for your PC. All original levels and characters are included in this ported version.

During gameplay, you choose to fight as any one of 15 samurai with the ultimate objective of destroying the Queen of Hell! Fight to the death at one of three levels of difficulty during timed contests, deathmatches or head-to-head battles with an opponent. The backgrounds will be familiar to fans of the original Arcade game and include seashore, jungle, snowfield and waterfall locales.
