Not nearly as hard as the OG NES games, or their later Xbox brethren. But you know what? I'm old now. So it's fine. Plenty of callbacks to the originals, including music, enemies, and the tutorial level coming straight out of Ninja Gaiden. Plenty of new mechanics and really great pixel art. Sounds like it's a short affair, but I'm alright with that, too. The price might be a little steep, but overall, it's worth it. Hoping to wrap the game up at least once by the end of the weekend. Edit: Hey, ding dongs. I didn't say it was easy.

Medium difficulty normally, but each level has optional challenges such as beating the boss without taking damage. You can also equip items that make levels harder, like removing health pickups, but are rewarded with a better rank. This is how you'll get the S+ ranks, but if you don't care about all that, the game is still awesome and smooth.

The Game Kitchen does it again! Mastering pixel art and the combat above all. Although the music goes hard in this one as well, paying homage to the Ninja Gaiden of old. It is not as mercyless as Blasphemous but still requires mastery to get the most out of it. Keep them coming The Game Kitchen!

"Playing Ninja Gaiden is a secret of art. Only the most determined players can defeat it" "You must be quick! You must be strategic! Can you learn that, my boy?" "Is the game controlling you? Or are you... controlling... the game?" "Ninja... must be master... of his... environment" "A ninja... must look... beyond the borders... of the screen." "Try again! Practice! Unlimited continues means no Game Over. Game is only over when you make it over!" "You must move! How is one to advance, if you waste all your energy on one enemy?" "You must not act too quick, or too late. Perceive the victory in your head, and your perceived future will be your present." "Checkmate does not exist... unless you make it exist!" "You're playing with anger! Anger does not exist. Pain... does not exist. Defeat... does not exist!"

As a long time Ninja Gaiden fan, I truly love 2D classic side-scrolling game in traditional 32-bit pixel sprite artstyle! Indeed, it pays respect to a traditional 8-bit NES 2D sidescrolling game. As far as gameplay feels, it feels very fluid, fast, responsive, silky smooth 60fps, and it does feel like classic NES game, just a bit of modernized control such as Guillotine, Kunai Attack, Rage, Dodge, etc. It's easier to climb and traverse on most terrain environment. Yes, it is speedrun friendly, as long as you practice the entire level. It also includes achievement system as well as challenges to complete for every level. You will get to play as main protagonist ninja Kenji as well as skilled assassin protagonist Kumori from Spider-Clan. In terms of controller support, it works no problem with either Playstation DualSense Edge or Xbox controller. Other than that, I truly enjoyed high-speed action Ninja 2D sidescrolling game. If you're a die hard NInja Gaiden fan, you're going to love this game! Yes, the soundtrack is also awesome which is available to purchase on Steam.
