  Samurai Shodown Mobile is an excellent port of the 2019 console game. It features faithful recreations of the series’ gameplay, graphics and sound design. However, the title’s lack of controller support and its baffling DLC release schedule hold it back. If you are a fighting game fan, I highly recommend Samurai Shodown Mobile. It is a well-made game with a lot of content to offer. However, you should look elsewhere if you are looking for a fighting game with controller support and a more generous DLC release schedule.

  Samurai Shodown, even as the base game with touch controls only, is a great addition to Netflix’s gaming catalog, but it should’ve been better. The lack of controller support and baffling DLC release schedule hold it back in its current state. I’m going to keep it installed in the hope we get updates to address those issues, but right now Samurai Shodown is a great fighting game that deserved better for its mobile release. This is a competent and commendable conversion in many ways, but a very disappointing one in others. Hopefully we won’t need to wait too long to embrace controller support.
