Play Dokuganryuu Masamune (Japan) Online
Swing a massive sword as a one-eyed dragon samurai—chunky pixel hits feel brutal as you grind for gear and barely survive Japan’s toughest NES enemies.

Dokuganryuu Masamune is one of those NES games that makes you wonder how it never left Japan. You play as a literal one-eyed dragon samurai—which, honestly, is reason enough to try it—hacking through side-scrolling levels with this satisfying, weighty sword swing. It’s got that classic RPG vibe where you’re grinding for better gear, but the combat’s way more up-close and brutal than something like Dragon Quest.
The pixel art’s rough in that charming early-Famicom way, all jagged edges and exaggerated animations. And yeah, it’s tough—like, "throw-your-controller-into-a-pile-of-futons" tough at times—but in that addictive "one-more-try" way. No tutorials, no mercy, just you figuring out how to survive against yokai and bandits while your health bar ticks down.
If you’re into obscure retro action-RPGs, this is a weird little time capsule worth tracking down. Just maybe keep a walkthrough handy.
