If you really want to show off the beauty of the Steam Deck OLED screen, this game is the perfect showcase piece. The hand-drawn animations, colors and animations pop out amazingly on the OLED screen and it's truly beautiful and smooth. Underneath the highly polished graphics is a very engaging action-platformer that has plenty of call-backs to the original Shinobi games on Genesis (Mainly Shinobi 3) and plenty of unique twists and gameplay elements of it's own. It really is the perfect game for the Steam Deck. It plays absolutely flawlessly at 60 FPS. I find absolutley not faults with it so far.

This review will probs be most-viewed by 35-45 year olds' so I'll speak to that demographic. Will you get Shinobi nostalgia from the 90s? - maybe a bit. However chances are more likely that you'll experience Sega nostalgia. This game is pure Sega and I personally really like that. It has thus-far made me really hopeful that we'll get and Altered Beast remake aswell as a Golden Axe one, too. It skirts the boundaries of "Doable" and "instakill", beautifully, while bringing 21st Century art style to a legendary franchise. It runs beautifully on older hardware, and there is no shortage of opportunity to feel a sense of personal achievment, because the game does punish you quite a bit. It's coherent, fun and challenging, Worth every penny for-sure. I hope you enjoy this as much as me. P.s. I'm a Megadrive and arcade Shinobi player. As a huge Indie game advocate, Shinobi: Art of Vengence positions itself at the very top of those categories without a doubt.

After playing for several hours, I can confidently say that Sega is back. I’ve completed The Revenge of Shinobi and Shinobi 3 on the Sega Mega Drive, as well as GG Shinobi 1 and 2 on the Sega Game Gear. This new version of Shinobi incorporates elements from all its predecessors. It features action, skill-based gameplay, and puzzles, much like the Game Gear version where you had to revisit levels after acquiring new skills to uncover hidden treasures. Thanks to Yuzo Koshiro, the music turned out quite well, though not quite as good as in the originals. Does anyone remember the Chinatown music from The Revenge of Shinobi? Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything quite like it here. Still, it’s a fantastic game, and I hope it’s successful enough to encourage Sega to release more remakes. Imagine seeing classics like Nights into Dreams, Last Bronx, or Golden Axe get the same treatment. Let’s hope we get to experience those gems as well! EDIT: After finishing the game, I can confidently say that I really enjoyed it. All the combos, jumps, and mechanics are incredibly fluid and well-executed. The playability is smooth and exceptionally well done. I must also admit that I absolutely loved the music—my personal favorite is "Broken Hourglass." I highly recommend this game!

All these Don't recommend reviews - They don't know what the heck they want. This game is amazing and it plays like a dream on the deck. Please support this game. We need more arcade fun like this and illDamage I like switches and infinite dash.

Great game so far. Massive combat depth, incredibly responsive controls, Yuzo Koshiro bangers, and stellar 2D art and animation. I grew up on the Genesis Shinobi games, and this is exactly what I want from a 2025 sequel. It retains the spirit of the original while making the moment to moment enemy encounters engaging. Oh, and importantly, unlike many 2D games (Shredder's Revenge, etc.), you can run it at an uncapped framerate. Moving around and slashing feels buttery smooth. Big props to the devs for that.
