Your master falls in combat, dying.
But, with his last breath, he summons the Wizard Mage.
The Demon King fearing defeat, escapes to the future.
Tormented, the young samurai seeks the teachings of the Wizard Mage in the ways of magic.
Boiled with revenge and armed with a magical sword, the young samurai follows the Demon King into the future and the unknown..." The First Samurai is a platform action game very much similar to other platform games, but with a medieval oriental touch to it in addition to various unique features.
Arriving in the new unknown land, you are defenceless hence your fists and kicks.
But as you journey forth, you'll find your trusty magical sword as well as throwing weapons such as knives and axes.
With your martial art skills, your enemy best beware with those sudden moves that may prove fatal! The First Samurai offers a wide array of weapons, special items and other objects.
Combat is usually melee, either relying on your punch or kicks or using the magical sword to slash some pretty skillful blows in whatever direction possible.
Monsters are forever regenerating but food for health is plentiful.
It actually takes an effort to be killed...
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks First Samurai for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding First Samurai to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1991.
