What Makes SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL Stand Out

NEOGEO's masterpiece games are now available in the app !!
And in recent years, SNK has partnered with Hamster Corporation to bring many of the classic games on the NEOGEO onto modern gaming environments through the ACA NEOGEO series. Now on smartphone, the difficulty and look NEOGEO games had back then can be reproduced through screen settings and options. Also, players can benefit from online features such as online ranking modes. More, it features quick save/load and virtual pad customization functions to support comfortable play within the app. Please take this opportunity to enjoy the masterpieces that are still supported to this day.

Community Insight:

Amazing game! Needs a training mode tho.


This is the best version of the series. SNK has done an incredible job, with all of their arcade apps. Our only complaint, is that the Hamster fighting games, do not include the Special button. The AI opponents are super difficult to beat. The only way to win, is to go heavy with special moves.
