Shadow Blade Reload is your typical 2.5 action adventure where you follow a simple and typical story across 7 regions. Each region contains between 5 and 7 stages with some of the final stages being bosses. You go through obstacles, fight enemies, collect Kanji & orbs and you get scored at the end based on factors like how many enemies you defeat, how much stuff you collect and how fast you are. The game’s biggest selling point has got to be the controls. It feels amazing with a controller. Not only because you’re super fast but you can jump infinitely as long as you touch a wall. It might sound broken but the levels are generally designed with that in mind, especially when you play on 2 harder difficulties. The environments change significantly with more obstacles and enemies. The game is a joy to play and it’s kept engaging. Other aspects like graphics, sound etc. are fine. They might not impress compared to what’s available on the market, but they’re done with care. In terms of flaws, most are real nitpicks. You need to install a program on PC in order to view the cutscenes, luckily the installation program is found in the game’s folder. There are also some minor visual bugs on very rare occasions like going to spots you’re not supposed to. I had lots of fun playing the game and I can definitely recommend it to fans of action adventure Ninja games. You really do feel like a Ninja with how fast and powerful you can get. The normal price of around €8 is 100% worth it. It took me 13 hours to complete the game 3 times and get all the achievements. There are different type of achievements such as collect all kanji, do certain actions a couple of times and complete the game on all 3 difficulties. The latter was mostly the fun kind of challenge. All achievements felt pretty well balanced in terms of grind not going too far and reasonable things being asked to do.
