Ninja Games

Go, Ninja! Go, Ninja! Go, Ninja Go!

You want to play Ninja games? Who can blame you? Ninjas have captured our imaginations like few warriors in history ever have. Their name is synonymous with stealth, guile and deadly skill. They are the legendary subject material for countless books, movies, games and more. All around the world, we love ninjas.

Ninja Outside of Games

To really understand ninja games, you need to understand real ninjas — you need to understand their history and traditions. The problem is that, as it turns out, the history of ninjas is not an easy subject to be sure about!

The ninja probably came from “jizamurai” families — militia formed from the peasant classes — in modern Mie prefecture. We don’t have many records about them from the time that we think they were most active, around the fifteenth or sixteenth century. This may be because they weren’t drawn from the nobility like the samurai were. Art in Japan at that time wasn’t too interested in the lives of the lower classes.

What That Ninja Do?

We know that the ninja were spies, secret agents or mercenaries, who employed poison, bombs, sabotage, infiltration and assassinations. All these techniques of unconventional, guerilla or asymmetric warfare were very valuable to their masters, the various regional rulers of feudal Japan. During that time there was almost constant fighting between them and they would happily turn to any technique that could give them the upper hand.

The traditional force of the samurai fought according to the code of bushido, which forbade “dishonorable” types of combat. They believed that the only noble warrior’s path was one of direct combat almost like a duel. The ninja had no such code. They would disguise themselves and creep into their enemies’ castles at night to wreak havoc.

Ninja In Games

The appeal of playing as a ninja is obvious. It also suits the shape of video games, which often feature a lone protagonist taking on legions of enemy fighters, as well as incorporating elements of stealth.

How can you say no to a game that lets you be a ninja, a legendary member of the deadliest fighting force in the world, and all without having to commit to years of training at a special school somewhere up a mountain?!

Ninjas are probably one of the most often-used characters in games. They’re right up there with zombies and princesses. In reality, there has been a lot of myth-making about ninjas — in Japan after their time had passed and worldwide since shortly after that. They are probably not the demigod-like deniers of physics that we love to believe in.

In games that has never mattered! The number of ninja games out there is truly unknowable. It’s vast. Since long before even Tenchu on the first PlayStation, you’ve been able to enjoy unbelievably satisfying ninja play as a ninja across a huge range of games.

Ninja Weapons

There’s more to being a ninja than just using your own body, of course, and the weapons of the ninja are almost as iconic as the black-masked assassins themselves. Whether unleashing your sword, caltrops, ninja stars, blowpipe, sai or even a poisoned rice-ball, you’ll find the options for that perfect, unnoticed takedown are as wide as they are satisfying.
