Yasuke is not the only black samurai in popular culture. Before Yasuke's emergence in the popular Zeitgeist, Afro Samurai Tear up the air waves with a short anime series that later turned into a game that shared the same name. The strongest Samurai in the world has the main headband, and only number two can challenge him with it being Afro.
The problem is that anyone can challenge number two, which means that Afro has to defend their title on the way to the top.

Bushido Blade 2 Is a battle game for PS1 from Squaresoft, but not in the traditional sense. During this conflicting period of Ninja and Samurai warriors, the battle is realistic. Players can die with a single hit, making each match sweat -inducing from the other.
For those who want to polish their Samurai or Ninja sword games, this is a fantastic game to play alone through their several stories or with a friend. Unfortunately, it is captured on PS1, but there are always solutions.

Ghost of Tsushima becomes the game compared to most with Assassin's Creed ShadowsAnd it's easy to see why. It is an open world game that takes place on an island in Japan, Tsushima, during a troubled part of its history. Mongolier invades, and while Samuraians are abused by them, they have to rise to meet them all: Jin.
Players can go through the game like a noble samurai or chop enemies from the shadows by embracing the roads from Ninja, which plays into the story. It is like the dichotomy between playing like yasuke or naoe in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Ghost of Tsushima is really the gold standard for Samurai and Ninja games in an open world environment.

Katana zero is an indie game with a samurai, but one from his era. Zero is a killer, and every step finds him chasing a new goal set in a cyberpunk future. Enemies die in a hit, and players can go into assignment either neatly or bravely.
Zero has the innate ability to slow down the time before he performs enemies as well, almost as if he has the ability to see the future. What makes this murderous Samurai exciting is that after each assignment he has a session with a psychiatrist. What really happens? It's the real hook of the game.
