Reception
GameZone's Dakota Grabowski gave the game a 4.5 out of 10, saying "After hours upon hours of competitive gameplay, Samurai Shodown: Sen didn’t serve enough entertainment value to satisfy my tastes. It’s a shame since the series has long been one of the more popular franchises among hardcore fighting fans."
Xbox Evolved's Michael Ogunnubi gave the game a 7.5 out of 10, saying "Overall, it's not world class material, but it's decent, and I truly found Samurai Shodown Sen to be pretty fun. It's not like previous iterations as the gameplay is watered down for attempts to change it with brutality, which I thought actually worked to some extent. If you go into it, not expecting typical Samurai Shodown, you'll enjoy it."
PixlBit gave Samurai Shodown Sen a 1.5/5 and stated that this is a "very poor fighting game that lacks balance and accessibility which will make it unenjoyable both for fighting game veterans and newcomers." The review recommended to purchase the Samurai Shodown Anthology Wii compilation or XBLA arcade re-releases for gamers that are interested in the series.

The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
