To be honest, I really enjoy 2D action side-scrolling games like this yet, paradoxically, whenever play games in this genre, tend to struggle whether it’s due to a lack of skill, impatience, or other issues. This has been my experience with titles like Hollow Knight, Silksong, and etc. Every animation from the slashes of the Oborozuki katana and the throwing of kunai to the transitions between ninpo techniques is rendered with highly dynamic, hand-drawn artistry. The environments, ranging from modern military bases to classic Japanese-style temples, feel incredibly vibrant and alive. The combat system demands more than just mindless button mashing. It integrates close quarters katana strikes with ranged kunai attacks, fluid movement mechanics like dash and wall jump, and the use of Amulets and ningi gear to unlock a diverse array of abilities. Boss encounters are both deeply satisfying and challenging. The audio and background music perfectly capture the vibe of SEGA’s golden age of arcade gaming the pulse pounding soundtrack keeps the adrenaline flowing through every stage and boss fight.
Stellar. A total knockout. Here's what this game is NOT: it's not a next-gen, new school Metroidvania in the mold of Hollow Knight, 9 Souls or Blasphemous. Nowadays, modern entries into the genre prioritize vast, labyrinthine, exploration-driven experiences combined with souls-like combat... and while they're cool (and sometimes downright incredible), they play nothing like the side-scrolling platformers I grew up on in the 80s and 90s. Many modern Metroidvanias feature retro aesthetics, but there's little/nothing about them which play like arcade classics or the NES, SNES and Genesis games I grew up on. That's fine, but I realized a while ago that while games like Hollow Knight are gorgeous achievements, they don't scratch my itches. I'm a busy guy with a career and a family - I don't have the bandwidth to chart my way across massive, borderline open-world platform mazes. I can't spend all night backtracking with various keys and learning the lightning-fast attack patterns of dozens of mini-bosses. I need simpler pleasures. Shinobi 2 is a perfectly-calibrated masterpiece of arcade-style platforming action, straight up. There's exploration, sure, and there are areas to unlock and spaces to revisit, but the game ultimately propels the player through a linear series of levels that play with all the vintage tropes: a moving train; a vast underground lab; a mountain ascent. Enemies are occasionally difficult, but there's nothing souls-like about any of this - instead, the developers prioritized combat that feels explosive, satisfying and fun, just challenging enough to demand your focus but never punishing. In every respect, it feels like a sexy, juiced-up SEGA Genesis title - expansive and updated enough to be worth your time as a modern gamer, but always geared towards a propulsive, arcade-like adventure that's easy to enjoy and never feels like a job. For the right kind of gamer looking for a nostalgic blast, it's a pure 10/10.
It's less of a metroidvania than arcade style with separate stages you can return to. + Combat's fun and fluid with lots of options. You can really zip through encounters. The stage and hand-drawn character art are nice, everything really pops. Normal difficulty feels a little easy. The new Hardcore is pleasantly tough with upgraded/harder enemies in every spot and stronger boss moves. DLC bosses were pretty good. - Some of the later less-important cutscene illustrations look unfinished at times, oh well. DLC stages are straight shot combat slogs with no exploration so kinda enh. Joe auto-climbing corners when you're close enough can make a few particular platforming sections pretty frustrating. Very rare glitches with a pushed box getting stuck in geometry or something and having to checkpoint. 8/10 Pretty good ninjaing
+Top tier hand drawn art +Terrific music +Variety in stages +Fun combat +Forgiving, frequent checkpoints -Many parts with cheap deaths. Annoying. -Auto-climb makes the platforming in Secret Bunker awful. -Secret Bunker is optional, but soured me so much, I almost want to give a thumbs down. -Achievements, items, and a secret boss require finishing that room. A shame, since 99% of the game is really sweet and I love Lizardcube's art. ********************************************************** 4/4/26 DLC Update DLC is a pass. New stages are mostly left to right, aren't themed to the bosses until the boss, no new enemies, music is not themed, no iconic tunes so far. Backgrounds are bland. The new bosses are the only really new content so far, and they're, okay at best. City boss is meh War boss is drawn well but meh Last one is decent Haven't messed with the new ninpos Costumes are palette swaps I really liked the base game, but the Deluxe/DLC is just not good.
Great 2D scroll action game with a few flaws, 7/10 Takes 9-12 hours to complete. Shops and collectable to unlock, simple but branched out combos from heavy and light attack, Art style is great, boss are interesting, main stages are not too hard. Seems like this is an old series getting reboot, so guess it's normal dev know what they're doing, and it's quite good. But game has a quite a few flaw: 1. You character is way too stronger than average mob. It's like a playing a sekiro character in DarkSouls 1. 2. Ankou rift. Yes it's optional, but he main stages are cake walk compare to this. I don't think people buy a 2D scroll action game and expect to play Celeste instead of slashing mobs. 3. Most of the time you get hit just because screen is full of stuff that you can't tell projectile is coming. 4. Most of the Charm, both passive and combo are useless. There's only has a few useful one, other are just placeholder for hidden treasure, doesn't really change play style. Maybe dev expect you to change them in fight, which is annoying. 5. After the first 2 big area, map design quality drop hard. It's still has it's charm but quite far away from a good metrovania. 6. Price. For a game that can be finished in 10 hour the price is quite steep. Still a good game, but would recommend wait for a big discount before picking it up.
