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.

Samurai Shodown Characters FAQ
If you have any questions about Samurai Shodown or its characters, take a look at the questions below.
What’s Samurai Shodown?
Samurai Shodown is a reboot of the classic fighting game series that plays like Tekken or Street Fighter with weapons. You play as a wide-variety of different characters (listed above!) and have to learn an in-depth control scheme to master combat. It was built rom the ground up in Unreal Engine 4, so is easily the best-looking game in the series to date.
What Do The Different Characters Do?
Well, they offer a different visual flourish, with different attacks and special effects, as well as a completely different play style.
