Mostly cult classic status. Though it didn't get a sequel, ACS did release another weapon-based fighting game two years later: Legendary Blades.

Also, the game is actually a spin-off of the Kurokage series, focusing on samurai instead of ninja. Though Kurokage himself is a playable character.

Also, it should be noted that the gameplay bears more similarity to Far East of Eden: Kabuki Klash, which features slightly faster gameplay than SamSho. It does retain SamSho's violence level, however.
