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.
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.
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.
Good god. Shinobi 3: Return of the Ninja Master was my childhood. And they brought it back SO faithfully, while adding so much that elevated the game. They brought back the chase sequence, but on a wolf instead of a horse. They brought back the water sequence. They brought back the falling rocks stage. They brought back so many familiar enemies. And they brought back Joe Musashi. This game feels like an absolute love letter. They added a bit of a Metroidvania spin to it, and I was surprised at how well it works. It's fluid, the animations are directly referenced from the original Sega Genesis game, and it feels amazing. Finally. A revival of an old game done RIGHT.
