Samurai Shodown V
If you like fighting games and are looking for a very light-hearted not overly dramatic fighting experience, then you should check out Samurai Shodown V because it offers just that.
With 26 characters to play with, even if some of them are completely worthless, Samurai Shodown V is a quality 2D fighter from a developer that usually knows its way around a quality 2D fighter.
Samurai Shodown V isn't the best looking or most refined fighter available, but it does work well enough including a fully functional online mode.
