Play First Samurai (Japan) Online
You're a lone samurai chasing down the thief who stole your magic sword, cutting through waves of demons and ninjas with chunky, satisfying sword swings—until some screen-filling monster forces you to rethink your approach. The pixel art’s vibrant, the synth soundtrack slaps, and those bosses? Brutal, but in a good way.
First Samurai on SNES is one of those games that feels like it should’ve been way more famous. You play as this lone warrior whose magic sword gets swiped, and of course, you’re not about to let that slide. So off you go, slashing through demons, ninjas, and some seriously weird mythical creatures—all with this satisfying, weighty swordplay that just feels good.
The pixel art pops with these bold colors, and the soundtrack? Absolute fire. It’s got that classic SNES energy—synth drums and dramatic melodies that kick in right as some giant monster fills the screen. And speaking of monsters, the bosses here don’t mess around. You’ll die a few times, but in that way where you just want to jump back in and try again.
What I love is how it mixes things up—one minute you’re dueling a skeleton samurai, the next you’re chucking shurikens or summoning a dragon because why not? It’s tough but fair, with just enough weirdness to keep you hooked. If you missed this one back in the day, it’s worth tracking down.
