12 Samurai Games like Ghost of Tsushima

Here we go again.

Through the last 20 Years there have been some really great Samurai slash ninja games, and we wanted to talk about some of them. Today we rank 12 of the best Samurai/Ninja games out there.

Starting off at number

12. Samurai Warriors:

Samurai Warriors 4

For which was the 10th anniversary. Samurai Warriors series came out in 2014. It's a hack and slash. It is very much like that.

Misty Warriors this is as close as we get in the list might I have Sam.

Right Warriors for actually got a lot closer to the Dynasty Warriors formula than the previous game though particularly in the way that it does the story now if you're interested in Samurai and want to play Dynasty Warriors type game. It's kind of an obvious one. It was first out on PlayStation 3, but then did close out on PlayStation 4. So it's still something you can play if you want it is definitely a worthwhile game. It was the highest rated entry in the entire series and well the PlayStation 4

Had some updates that made it better at number

11. Aragami:

Aragami

which is a kind of underrated game in my opinion. It's not that it really got Pander anything, but it really never got a lot of attention who's a game that came out on pretty much everything back in 2016. It's an action-adventure stealth game with like fuck massive amount of style. There's a lot of great abilities and it to this like teleportation that you charge by standing and shadows because he uses Shadow energy or Shadow assets. I can't exactly Clear over what is colleges remember that it's been kind of fun and in all honesty is probably one of the best stealth games of the most recent console generation. Frankly, It also came out on switch and 2019. So if you're looking to play it probably the easiest way to do it because you can take it anywhere. There's also a DLC prequel which is pretty cool. Honestly just like an all-around amazing game. You should play it because not enough people did at number

10. Mark of the Ninja:

Mark of The Ninja

a side-scrolling action.

Elf game that is really fluid and fast it all honesty. As far as 2D stealth. I don't think you're going to do better than this game. It's so huge of feeling like it's literally about moving around quickly getting behind things getting into things using a grappling hook. It's just a game that really takes its Design Elements and makes them into something that I would call greater than the sum of its parts because I think you could describe it and it would sound like a lot of games, but it It really is unique and Incredibly fun Mark of the Ninja is when you Plays out of pretty much everything it originally came up 2012. It got remastered for pretty much everything do it. And number

9. Naruto to Boruto Shinobi Striker:

Naruto to Boruto Shinobi Striker

Basically the point is you create your own ninja and you play in teams of four against other players online. It looks very different from a lot of Naruto games in that the backgrounds are very cartoonish and really the type of game. It's not action-adventure. It's basically a fighting game. It is not the most advanced Fighting game you're ever going to play. However, it is an incredibly fun game and it is unique in some ways. It vaguely reminds me of if Power Stone were much bigger like in scale but not entirely it's incredibly fun though. Give it a shot. It's out on pretty much everything and number

8. Tenchu Stealth Assassins:

Tenchu Stealth Assassins

which is a third-person action-adventure stealth game series, which we've actually seen a couple of entries to over the years the first being stealth assassins the

Being Shadow assassins the latter of which was actually developed by from software to I think it's very interesting the first game. I can remember playing the hell out of because it was one of the better looking games which is funny when you look back on it now, but the second was a really interesting take on the type of formula and established. You can actually kind of see some of the fact that second row is a bit of a descendant of tenchu in some ways in that that Series has some bearing of influence over. Over the formula they used in that given little harder to play these though Shadow assassins was a Wii game and a PSP game. And number

7. Shadow tactics Blades of the Shogun:

Shadow Tactics Blades of The Shogun

which I think is possibly one of the coolest ideas on this list. It's a stealth based real-time tactics cam set in the Edo period of Japan. It's very much like Desperado's you've ever played that and you have a set of Heroes with different skills that you sir.

Have to apply to different situations. It's I need a really good game. And like I said probably one of the more innovative ideas on this list not that that automatically makes it better than every other case. It's not necessarily that but it's certainly something unique and I love Desperado's. So I'm sort of partial to the type of gameplay. This uses. It just applies it to these sort of Samurai idea. Incredibly. Well at number 

6. Bushido Blade

Bushido Blade

now Bushido Blade was actually a fighting game that Was a squaresoft attempts at sort of creating a new fighting game franchise. Now, they did make two of them Bushido Blade of Bushido Blade to and they had a very unique damage system which did lots of different things based on where you hit somebody it had a lot of swordplay. There is actually a fair amount of exploration, which is not something that you normally see in a fighting game and it took a few risks with the gameplay injecting some stuff that you just don't normally see in fighting games.

That I think both made it a very interesting and good game and also made it hard for it to succeed because it was a bit different. I would say that's not a bad thing in this game is case and if you have the ability to go back to play station and give it a spin. I think you'll see exactly what I mean. It's a pretty Innovative fight again a number

5. The Ninja Gaiden series:

Ninja Gaiden 3

We're specifically talking about the new version of it. Not the old NES game. The new version is a hack and slash which took a Fairly like Cavalier attempt at the first one and then revamp the combat system in the second which allow dismemberment this game is significantly less about Stealth than almost. Any other game on this list. You are a powerful ninja and you don't care if you are seeing there is some wild crap that goes down when you're seen to and like I said, it involves literally disappearing your enemies. It's also known for being a really gory game, but that's not really the reason to play it is just

Kind of cool and number 

4. Nioh and Nioh 2:

Nioh Series

a pair of games that let's just go ahead and say has established a very good Souls like series that does a lot to give itself its own identity, which is very good. The first one was a bit more specific about its protagonist the second one let you actually make your own protagonist and the second one function is kind of a prequel for the most part, but some of it actually was posts the first game story. The second was obviously bigger in scope as is x 2 Be with sequels in truth Neo to Builds on everything that the No does.

Obviously bigger in scope as a tends to be with sequels in truth Nioh 2 Builds on everything that the original does and kind of doesn't mess up any of the stuff that it does right. It's exactly what you want out of this kind of game and I'm really hoping and looking forward to if they make three personal number

3. Onimusha:

Onimusha Series

a game that arose out of the idea of making sengoku biohazard, which would have been a Resident Evil game set in the sengoku.

In a ninja house with swords and true guns and all of that to me that's like a super interesting idea and it kind of panned out. I would say that only which is a bit more of a hack-and-slash in Resident Evil. But as a series it definitely ended up being a worthwhile one is there's a lot of different titles in it. They remastered it for PS4 recently. It was what they originally started to work on your PlayStation and eventually moved to place a 52 it spanned every generation of consoles since then. Then and it's not hard to see why who doesn't want a game where you play as a samurai fighting demons. And number

2. Way of the Samurai:

Way of The Samurai

An old PS2 game. It's of the action-adventure nature as are many on this list. It did have a couple of sequels but I think the most notable is probably the original personally the cool thing about it is that you can radically alter exactly how this story goes down probably a lot more so than a lot of other games in this era although it does comment.

Six atoms which is a massive like a silent hill game can have that many innings still it was definitely a very high-quality title for the time. It was really a great looking game like to looking back on it. Also it just adds like at number one is ghost.

Looking game like looking back on it. Also. It just had really fun combat. Sometimes that seemed really silly partly because of the music which by the way is pretty much always great. Anyways, I very fondly remember with the samurai. Wish they would Port that to current consoles. And number

1. Sekirow: Shadows Die Twice:

Sekiro Shadows Die Twice

 which is I've mentioned it already talking about tanku really just a fantastic entry into the sort of souls born genre which incorporates a lot of tank.

Oriented ideas not to the point where it really makes the formula entirely but it does also give you this sort of rhythmic fighting that is very different, but also not so foreign that it's bizarre or anything. It's just a unique from software title in that it tries a lot of different things. Well, not really seeming to be alienating. Anyway, it's also a gorgeous game that really does a lot with its visuals and a lot of people consider it to be one of the if not the The Masterpiece of from software. I've not sure if I count myself among those but they do exist for sure and they're allowed

and finally at number

Ghost of Tsushima:

Ghost of Tsushima

 Which I mean what else can you really say about this game? This is really just a phenomenal game. One of the biggest like most beautiful open worlds I've ever seen it emulates the look and feel of Samurai films. It gives you a lot of different options as to how to play I particularly liked her.

 Have actually announce there's a new add-on that's going to give Co-op two players who enjoy this game, which is in my opinion. Just a phenomenal development. It is a specific Co-op experience with class based development of the combat system. There's both story and wave-based survival missions. Honestly, I think it's going to be really cool. I'm looking forward to it a lot. Obviously the main game itself is phenomenal and I'm excited to play any add on to it. Especially a free. Rico AA bad hon. You don't get that kind of announcement too often. We also have a couple of bonus games for you. First one is going way back to 1991 legend of the mystical ninja which is kind of a really goofy action platformer that honestly, I wish there were more games like next is Genji: Dawn of the Samurai which was a PlayStation 2 game a hack and slash with a couple of different characters with different abilities and statistics. Next is for Honor.

It's basically a 3D fighting game. And honestly, the game itself is a ton of fun and finally Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, which is probably the only mention of like a technological Samurai game, but it's really hard to call it anything. Other than that. He's very much a sort of Ninja/Samurai and you're using a ninja sword to need to sort people in half backs intent of the life. It's about of your gate. It's also insane in the way. Every metal gear game is insane. That's all. We have God. Did you play anything? Dude
