samurai aces III – sengoku cannon

It's good that we have PC port for this, and thanks to KMBOX I was able to finish my collection. However, I did not know that this game itself was garbage. This is like Niagara falls suicide jump level of degradation, especially considering TENGAI(Samurai Aces II). Anyway, the game itself is very well put for pc. I did not experience any of the typical pc port problems here.

Samurai Aces III is a fantastic throwback to the golden age of arcade shooters. The game perfectly captures Psikyo’s fast-paced design philosophy, with intense bullet patterns, short but highly replayable stages, and that addictive “just one more credit” feeling. The character roster is charming and quirky, each with unique shot types that actually change how you approach the game. Boss fights are especially memorable — chaotic, challenging, and incredibly satisfying to learn. The pacing is excellent too: quick runs make it ideal for both casual play sessions and serious score chasing. Visually, the colorful sprites and classic arcade presentation still hold up, and the soundtrack fits the action perfectly. Controls are tight and responsive, exactly what you want from a traditional vertical shmup. If you enjoy arcade-style shooters, Psikyo games, or just want something pure and skill-based, Samurai Aces III is absolutely worth playing. A short but highly replayable gem.
