Best game of the week

Samurai Shodown

Neo Geo has been on a tear lately, releasing classic games on mobile, usually two a week, and this week one of the best Neo Geo games ever made was released on the Play Store. That's right, I'm talking about Samurai Shodown, the OG, and let me tell you, it still holds up as an excellent fighting game to this day. There are 12 characters to choose from, all bringing unique skills, with unique stages to match. I highly recommend starting with Genan, as there's nothing better than slicing and dicing your competition with a claw hand. This one's a classic for a reason, don't miss out.
