Over the years, dozens upon dozens of excellent games have done some memorable stuff with samurais and ninjas, and that’s seen even more of an uptick in recent years. And now that it’s been some time since we spoke about our favourite games with samurais or ninjas in then, here, we’re going to speak about a few more.

GHOST OF TSUSHIMA

Let’s start with the most obvious choice, because obviously, there was no way Ghost of Tsushima was not going be to in the list. Living the samurai power fantasy in a vast, richly created, beautiful open world that is brimming with striking vistas- Ghost of Tsushima accomplishes is defined by all of this, and so much more. Just as deserving of praise is the combat, which serves up the perfect samurai experience- and as you play more and Jin keeps moving further and further away from the code of honour he’s been bound by his entire life, those gameplay mechanics begin changing as well, allowing for much more brutal, deadly, efficient, and silent ways of dispatching enemies.

The difficulty curve put it somewhere in the realm of Ninja Gaiden sadists, and some boss fights had you annihilating Kraken. Then again, with such gorgeous art design, how could one resist the side scrolling slasher?

Initially released for the Wii, Marvelous AQL has released a new trailer for Muramasa, promoting its upcoming release to PS Vita on March 28th. The trailer is of course full of bloody moments and much carnage, but hey, that’s just Christmas come early, right?

Muramasa: The Demon Blade initially centered on two protagonists – Kisuke, the amnesiac fugitive, and Momohime, a princess possessed by an evil spirit – but the Vita version boasts four new characters, with four new short scenarios to made available as DLC. Not a bad way to expand on earlier experiences, but will it be enough to trigger gamers’ interest for the niche actioner?
