The life of a ninja is an impossible goal for most, sadly. But thanks to the magic of gaming, the dream is not entirely out of reach. Over on PC, there are several great options for starting your new life as a master of stealth and assassination!
Below is a list of some of the best ninja games on PC. They all feature brutal combat, stealthy ninja moves, and plenty of enemies to defeat with your ninja-jutsu.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
A brutally hard game from the creators of Dark Souls, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice gives you all the tools to be a master ninja and punishes you mercilessly if you get caught. A classic revenge story, which casts you in the role of the One-Armed Wolf, this game lets you run on rooftops, scale walls, and fight bosses on your way to vengeance.
The version available on Steam is the "Game of the Year" edition that offer loads of new content. This includes a new boss challenge mode, bonus skins, and the ability to leave messages for other players (just like Dark Souls). It's an incredibly challenging game with unique death and dying mechanics that make it a must-play for fans of ninja games.
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4
Love it or hate it, you can't get away from Naruto—the most famous ninja anime in existence. Regardless of your opinions on the show, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 is one of the best ninja fighting games out there.
Using a unique battle system through which players can experience the action, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 pits Naruto, Sasuke, Madara, and a host of other familiar characters against each other in ninja combat. The game has a frenetic pace that sees players darting across stages as they fight and executing special moves on the fly—perfect for anime and ninja fans!
Shadow Tactics
If you're a fan of the old Commandos series or Desperados, then Shadow Tactics is for you. A top-down stealth strategy game that forces you to solve each level with trial and error, Shadow Tactics is a game that not only needs stealth to beat—it demands it.
With gorgeous isometric maps filled with characters, a host of abilities, and five ninjas to use in your missions, the game engrosses you in its Edo period setting. It's perhaps the most authentic ninja experience on this list and the one that will offer the most variety of gameplay.
Mark of the Ninja Remastered
A remaster of an indie classic, Mark of the Ninja is a 2D platformer with a stylish art style and solid stealth mechanics. Combining super slick gameplay with fluid movement and host of gruesome executions and attacks for your Ninja, the game is as satisfying as it is fun.
If you already own Mark of the Ninja, the upgrade to Remaster is completely free on Steam and is totally robust. The original vector graphics have been upscaled to a higher resolution, and the game plays incredibly smooth. All of the new features are ideal for platforming and ninja stealth moves.
