Samurai and katana are important elements in video games ranging from tactical games to classic beat-'em-ups. Our top 5 from this spectrum.<\/p>\n
The popular game series Mortal Kombat<\/strong>which can even be seen as a film on Netflix, is of course not a classic samurai epic. However, with the popular main character Scorpion, who fights with ninja techniques, the game still achieves 5th place in our ranking.<\/p>\n Sekiro<\/strong> is a samurai game in which you run through a world as a shinobi in the third-person perspective and have to fight one enemy after the other.<\/p>\n The plot is based on real elements from the Sengoku period of Japanese history. However, the game also has many fantasy elements. Shogun 2 is the samurai version of the popular strategy game Total War.<\/strong> The action takes place in 16th century Japan and the player must try to gain control of the whole of Japan as a clan leader. Historically, this corresponds to the events in Japan at that time and Shogun 2 is a must for all fans of the Total War series.<\/p>\n At the time of publication of this article Assassin's Creed<\/strong> Shadows has not yet been released. But the discussion about the game in advance is already record-breaking.<\/p>\n Apart from the usual blah-blah that always arises in connection with samurai, such as historically inaccurate portrayal and the like, the choice of main characters Yasuke<\/a> (a person who actually existed in a similar form in Japanese history) and Naoe led to controversy that has rarely been seen before in a computer game. Even Elon Musk had to comment negatively on the subject, even though he is actually a big fan of the Shiba Inu shown in the trailer \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n If Assassin's Creed Shadows continues the quality of the other instalments in the famous video game series, it will definitely be a contender for first place!<\/p>\n We are big fans of the Assassin's Creed games and will probably even be showing some gameplay from the new instalment on our YouTube channel<\/a> be published.<\/p>\n With Ghost of Tsushima<\/strong> the developers at Sucker Punch have landed a real surprise success. Based on the real events of the Mongol invasions of Japan at the beginning of the 13th century, they created a story centred around the main character Jin Sakai. The game was developed with a great deal of passion and countless details.<\/p>\n The game itself is simply fun and captivates you. For us, the clear number 1 among samurai games.<\/p>\n4th place: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/h2>\n
\nA very challenging game that requires skill but is also a lot of fun.<\/p>\n3rd place: Total War: Shogun 2<\/h2>\n
2nd place: Assassin's Creed Shadows<\/h2>\n
1st place: Ghost of Tsushima<\/h2>\n
