Game Description:

Genji: Days of the Blade (PlayStation 3, 2006) was one of the first games to say, “Hey, look what the PS3 can do!” — and then immediately get roasted for giant enemy crabs. This samurai-slashing action title is drenched in ancient Japanese lore, oversized weapons, and the kind of button-mashing combat that screams, “We swear this is next-gen!”

Developed by Game Republic and published by Sony, this sequel to Genji: Dawn of the Samurai gave us bigger battles, more playable characters, and physics-defying shoulder pads. Critics may have memed it into oblivion at launch, but let’s be honest — it’s still a stylish hack-and-slash that delivers some serious retro flair.

1. Switchable Characters: Instantly swap between four warriors mid-battle — because why be one samurai when you can be four?
2. Epic Boss Battles: Yes, there’s a giant enemy crab. Yes, you attack its weak point for massive damage. It’s iconic.
3. Gorgeous Environments: Cherry blossoms, temple ruins, and supernatural storm effects that tried really hard to flex the PS3’s muscle in 2006.
4. Heavy on the Lore: Loosely based on historical events, like every good “ancient Japan with magic” game should be.
5. Solid Replay Value: Level up your squad, unlock skills, and commit honorable destruction on repeat.
