15 More Amazing Ninja And Samurai Games You Need to Experience

THE MESSENGER

Given how many 8-bit Ninja Gaiden-era inspired indie games we’ve seen in recent years, it’s not surprising that two of them should be on this list. In fact, The Messenger, Sabotage Studio’s excellent metroidvania action-platformer, is probably one of the best games among that group. Some pacing issues notwithstanding, its humour, writing, challenging combat, slick platformer, and more come together in a game that’s very hard to step away from. Definitely worth checking out, if you haven’t done so already.
