Play Ashura (Japan) Online
Dash between rooftops slicing demons apart with fluid sword swings—this forgotten Sega gem nails that ninja fantasy with crisp controls and explosive pixel violence.
Ashura is a Sega Master System game released only in Japan, developed by Sega. It arrived during the platform's later years, a time when developers were pushing the hardware with more ambitious action titles, though it remains relatively obscure outside of dedicated retro circles.
You control a nimble ninja navigating side scrolling stages filled with enemy soldiers and supernatural creatures. Your main goal is to advance through each level, defeating bosses and surviving environmental hazards. Signature mechanics include screen by screen progression, a versatile sword attack that can be aimed in multiple directions, and the ability to collect power ups that enhance your offensive capabilities. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty can be punishing, demanding quick reflexes and careful pattern recognition. It feels sharp and responsive, with each successful strike offering a tangible sense of impact.
