Play Shikinjoh Online

Shikinjoh came out for the Sega Genesis in 1991, developed and published by Sega. It was part of that wave of licensed games based on the Fist of the North Star manga and anime, trying to capture the series' heavy, violent tone on a system known for action. It wasn't the only game trying to do this, but it had its own approach.

You control Kenshiro, the main character, and your goal is to fight through waves of enemies across different stages. The main mechanics are close-quarters combat, using punches and special moves to defeat opponents, and a health system where you can recover by finding food. The game is known for its high difficulty, with enemies that swarm you and require precise timing to overcome. It feels like a relentless brawl where every victory is earned through repetition and learning enemy patterns.
