The third incarnation of the 2D fighting game Samurai Shodown is now available on the PlayStation with the release of Samurai Shodown III: Blades of Blood. The game revolves around the evil Zankuro Minazuki. Zankuro ravaged lands, tortured innocent people, and burned villages to the ground. Rightfully nicknamed "The Demon," Zakuro attacked hundreds of people, becoming famous for his extreme brutality.
Now 12 mighty warriors search for the crazed Zankuro, each with their own agenda and reason for wanting to kill him. Most are in it for revenge of a loved one killed by Zankuro's sword, some are greedy for his demonic power, and others want to save him and turn him to the good side of nature.
Each character has his or her own unique style of fighting. Some fight only with their fists while others use swords, knives, and even loyal animals in their quest to defeat Zakuro. Fighting is similar the system used in Street Fighter II, where special moves are performed by moving the directional pad in tandem with one or more buttons.
Samurai Shodown III differs from its predecessors in the two fighting styles available for each character: slash and bust. Each style is symbolic of the light and dark sides to the characters' personalities, and gives players access to different moves and an almost entirely different way of stringing together combos and special attacks.
Features:

Master two distinct moods or fighting styles for each character
