14 More Best Samurai and Ninja Games You Need to Experience

Samurai Shodown (2021)

If Samurai Shodown has proven anything throughout its decades of existence, it’s how unorthodox and scrappy its fighting can be. The 2021 follow-up showcased everything that made the franchise special, with a range of weapons across the unique roster, brutal damage and systems devoted to disarming opponents. It may not have the most extensive single-player experience but online players can be assured of rollback netcode (except on Switch) and an extensive cast of characters.
