If you’re looking for a Samurai Shodown characters list, you’ve come to the right place. In this very guide, we simply list every single character that you can play as in the hit fighting game. What’s more, we’ll keep it updated as new characters arrive.

Samurai Shodown is a long-running fighting game series with an absolute ton of playable characters. Where it sets itself apart from competitors like Street Fighter or Tekken is in its focus on weapon-based combat. If you’re more a fan of hacking and slashing away with melee weapons than punching and kicking, you’ll absolutely love this.

You can learn more about the game on Steam. We also recommend checking out our Bleach Brave Souls tier list, SFV tier list, and Merge Girls tier list.
