Ninja Warriors has always been one of the greatest and most underrated sidescrolling beat em up franchises and Return doesn't disappoint. It's a fun and challenging game with two new characters who are both fun and unique. It's not an incredibly long game so doing multiple runs trying to achieve a 1cc is very pleasant. It goes without saying as well that the soundtrack by Zuntata is also awesome.

This game, just like Ninja Warriors Again, is a lot like a fighting game. You can only move back and forward, you need to block high and low, learn juggle combos to deal as much damage as possible, etc. Enemies can block too and some of them will have wake up attacks. Each character is unique with a completely different move set. Instead of all the content being DLC, you have to unlock it by actually playing the game which is almost unheard of these days.

played a lot of beat 'em ups growing up, not sure how I've never heard of this one, the mechanics are excellent and a strict 2D plane is somehow novel and much more comfortable than whiffing awkward space jabs around fodder. cool art and great music is a given.

Intro: One of my favorite games of all time. Why? - Many cool characters with highly varied movesets and playstyles. - Amazing soundtrack that I listen to all the time for decades. - Simple action, no lengthy cutscenes or upgrade systems. - Great animation, satisfying combat. I beat the SNES version. Bought the PS4 one when it came out, beat it with all characters on Normal and Hard. I was really annoyed they didn't release a PC version immediately, so when it finally came out on PC years later I didn't want to buy it. But recently I felt like playing it again. I never use the PS4 anymore. I have it emulated on PC, but I decided I wanted to support Tengo Project to make more games because not many people are making good games anymore. Bought it 40% off alongside Pocky and Rocky because I always liked the music in it even if the gameplay isn't my cup of tea. Gameplay: It's basically a sidescrolling beat 'em up. There are many stages, and it takes about an hour or two for a full clear . It's one of those games where it feels like you've been playing a long time because you're so focused on the action, when in actuality it wasn't that long. There are some reviews saying the game is mediocre or boring. It can get repetitive if you only see it as mowing down enemies. But I think it's more interesting than the average beat 'em up because the characters all play so differently and there are so many different enemies that also behave differently. Note that this is an old style game, meaning you have to "git gud" because there are no safety nets like levelling or upgrades . I suspect that many of the people giving it bad reviews are actually for this reason. People often lie and criticize to distract from their own deficiencies and weaknesses. Because it's easier to blame others than yourself. That said, it is true that some parts of the game can be very difficult, and you can get stuck forever if you aren't improving. It's up to you to experiment with character moves to figure out what the most efficient way to beat enemies is. I personally like games where I have to better myself instead of upgrading my in-game character. I know that most people nowadays are the opposite. Someone also pointed out that because there isn't a save system so you can't just step away and continue later . This is true. When you beat each stage you unlock time attack mode for that stage, but IIRC you can't continue to the next stage if you start from selecting a stage via time attack. If you want to advance you need to clear the entire game in one sitting. It's been a while and I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is the case. There are some people crying about the game not having enough story cutscenes. Again, this is a classic arcade style game with a simple story: evil people took over government, you're an android sent to wipe them out. That's it. If you want to watch cutscenes, go watch a movie. PC version: It seems like the same as the PS4 version. However, the PC port is a little lacking in control options . It doesn't seem to allow switching accept/cancel buttons (I prefer Asian button layout). The very first thing that happened when I started the game was I accidentally closed it. Keyboard config doesn't seem to let you use WASD, it only lets you configure the buttons. Directions are forced to arrow keys. My hands have been hurting on and off for a few years now. Depending on the game I might use keyboard or gamepad. This game seems like it'd be easier on my hands if I use keyboard, so it's a shame I can't use WASD without having to dig out a 3rd party tool like Joy2Key. It's also sad that there isn't proper online co-op, only Remote Play . I haven't tried Remote Play yet so I don't know if it works well or not. Improvements from SNES: - New combo juggling system. - Several new moves for each character. - Two new characters (again, every character plays very differently). - Music redone with new instruments. Old music and bonus music are unlockable. - Added frames of animation everywhere. - Redrawn sprites (some bosses are bigger, Kunoichi has much larger/bouncier chest which I don't like). - Widescreen with redrawn backgrounds. - Ranking mode, time rankings. - Local co-op mode. Conclusion: Still the same game I love. Seems like a decent port, as expected because it's always been on Unity engine so it should be the same on all platforms. All the more reason why it should have been released on PC to begin with. Lacks a few common bells and whistles, but they did add many improvements over the SNES version, so that's appreciated. Too many things require beating the game multiple times to unlock. There are people who want to play a specific way from the beginning. Forcing people to beat the game multiple times to unlock things people want from the start is always bad. If this was a more modern game they'd be selling the unlocks as microtransactions. But at the same time, at least people have that option. In this game you have no choice but to beat the game multiple times. There are speed runners who hate this game because of how random enemy behavior can be. That's understandable. At the same time if you're not a speed runner, the game can be more fun because each playthrough differs in that way.

This game is fantastic! As a fan of the Super NES version, playing this reminded me just how well certain game genres can still hold up today when done right. If you're a fan of beat 'em ups, this is an absolute must-play!
