Play Ikki (Japan) Online
You're a broke farmer swinging a rake at samurai, tossing coins to bribe enemies—until the screen's packed with ninjas and you're scrambling to survive. Grab a buddy for co-op chaos where you'll trip over each other more than the enemies.
Game Overview
Ikki is one of those NES games that shouldn't work but somehow does. You play as a broke farmer swinging a rake at samurai—which already tells you this isn't your typical feudal Japan story. The real kicker? You can toss coins to bribe enemies into joining your side, which feels ridiculous until you're desperately hurling your last yen at an advancing ninja mob.
The controls are stiff in that classic 80s way, and the screen gets chaotic when twenty enemies pile in at once, but that's where the magic happens. Grab a friend for co-op and suddenly it's two peasants against the world, tripping over each other while samurai flood in from all sides. It's janky, unfair, and weirdly charming—like someone mashed up a farming sim with a budget Gauntlet clone.
Don't go in expecting smooth gameplay or balance. This is pure cult classic material, best enjoyed with nostalgia goggles and a tolerance for shouting at your TV.
