And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 Samurai and Ninja video games for this list.

We're looking at the games that best fulfill that fantasy of being a samurai or ninja.

Get your katanas, ensure Eakins ready.

This may get messy before we continue.

Will be doing a deep dive on this lists number one entry over on mojo plays, so be sure to check it out once you've finished watching.

Oh, number 10 shinobi Siri's.

Yeah, the oldest Siris on this list.

The Shinobi franchise may not be as mega popular a sagas blue blur, but it's still managed to earn the respect of many players.

In addition to Difficult plat forming and combat, the Games managed to provide experiences that will make you feel like a badass ninja.

Whether that be through narrowly avoiding deadly bamboo spikes or taking down baddies while riding a horse across the valley, it really is a shame that we haven't had a new game since 2011 as a new entry developed with a triple A budget or taken under the wing of a great indie studio, could be an excellent way to revitalize the franchise number nine only Musha warlords.

Okay, if you've played any of the classic resident evil games, then you have a good idea of what to expect from only Musha warlords.

More or less.

Yes, one could sweep this under the rug as resident evil game play with a samurai theme.

But only Musha warlords does have a few tricks up its sleeve.

As you acquire new weapons and absorb the souls of enemy demons, you'll be able to unleash different elemental attacks on your helpless enemies.

Also, we'd be lying if we didn't say we have a soft spot for the campy dialogue and voice acting.

Come on, you gotta love how absurd some of this sounds flee while you gone, you worthless bog.

Number 8 10 Chew Siri's.

The 10 2 games have been juggled around between various publishers and developers, including a studio that made another notable samurai title.

But more on that later, the 1st 10 2 games stealth assassins introduced players to a savage and dark world where one wrong move could mean instant death.

It was challenging, demanding and relentlessly brutal, and we loved every second of it.

Unfortunately, not every entry in the franchise has been a stellar hit.

However, if it meant getting a remake of Stealth Assassins, we'd happily take a kunai to the face.

Number seven.

Total War Shotgun, too.

Sure, we've all fantasized about becoming an unstoppable samurai.

But what about becoming a shotgun?

Why settle for being the master of swords when we could be leading armies of samurai?

Well, those looking to fulfill that fantasy have found solace in Saga's total war.

Shobin, too, on top of stunning visuals and challenging gameplay show gun twos.

Claim to fame lies in its historical accuracy, both in presentation and in how the Ai behaves in battle.

The developers consulted various historians to get the atmosphere right.

This wasn't just a stimulating strategy game.

This was a history lesson and one that's still played years later.

Number six.

The Messenger.

If you love shinobi, then you should absolutely pick up the messenger.

When your clan is slaughtered by the Demon King's Army, it's up to you to take over the role of the messenger and deliver a scroll to the top of a mountain named Glacial Peak.

Thanks to its unique cloud stepping mechanic, which allows players an extra jump for every successful hit, the messenger offers up a new experience.

Toe.

Let players feel like a deadly ninja couple that with a fun upgrade system and some hilarious writing, and you've got the makings of an entertaining title, People You You!

Number five Samurai Showdown.

Siri's over Samurai showdown isn't just another two D fighting game that expects you to deliver combo after combo after combo.

Instead, it replicates typical samurai duels by focusing more on defensive play and making hits more lethal.

There's more demand for patients and reading your opponents than most other fighting games and delivering that fatal blow is satisfying every single time.

The Franchises 2019 Entry Samurai Showdown even makes it super moves cinematic in a similar way to Samurai Ninja films.

So those looking for the thrill of a dual need to give these games a shot.

Besides, just look at that blue haired hunk Yukio.

I'll drink to Number four Neo Siri's.

While a lot of souls like games conf eel derivative, Neo is not one of those titles.

Yes, it has similar mechanics, such as a stamina or, in this case, key bar, but it distinguishes itself with the use of different combat stances, which becomes vital when dealing with certain enemy types.

One stance may be racking up the damage, but if it's draining your key or leaving you vulnerable to often, you're gonna have a bad time.

Neo encourages players to mix up combat tactics throughout their journey, and it's that approach that makes the game worth your time.

Number three Ninja Guidance Siri's dot, dot dot Sonobe may have been the original Samurai ninja game, but Ninja Guidon has been the granddaddy of them all.

Ninja Guidon has been kicking our ass is for decades with its relentless AI and dependence on quick reflexes.

You can't just attack like a ninja.

You have to move like a ninja that even applies the exploration as some of the games allow you to run on or kick off walls to reach higher ground.

Oh, and if you're a fan of over the top action ninja, Guidant has that to please co a techno.

Can we have a new game on next Gen.

Or maybe now number two Seki Road shadows die twice.

Yeah, not too long ago, we'd have been shocked that this isn't number one, but more on that later, Seccuro Shadows Die twice was such a phenomenal game that we had to name it as our game of the year for mojo plays.

It wasn't just for its unique aesthetics and ability to play as a sneaky Sonobe, but the grappling hook provides a fast and thrilling method in traversing the world.

On top of that, there are a wide variety of enemies that will test your mettle whether they be colossal snakes or warriors that wield godlike power.

Mhm, Yeah, Okay.

Number one Ghost of Susima Cheese.

Deciding between this and Seccuro was a tough one.

However.

Ghost of Tsushima comes out on top because it offers you the option to experience combat both as a samurai and a ninja.

Will you maintain honor and take your foes head on?

Or will you use stealth and kunai it to bring the Mongolians to their knees?

Ghost of Susima wasn't just another open world game, either.

It's a celebration of Japanese culture, complete with locations where you can compose high coups and even a filter based on Akira Kurosawa's samurai films.

And as for that upcoming multiplayer mode, were pumped to step into Susima once more.
