For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Chwile pograć i wyłączyć a po jakimś czasie znowu pograć co jakiś czas. gra jest nudząca na dłuższe posiedzenia. Raz na jakiś czas jest ok. Biegasz i jesteś ninja. Ogólnie gra sprawia wrażenie średniaka, ale potrafi być na chwilę grywalna,
on the native linux version the controller is not recognized by default. Switched to proton and now the controller works but for some reason the devs decided to map the movement to the thumbstick instead of the d-pad which feels horrendous. I don't see any settings to change that. I'm not going to play this with keyboard.
Смотрел видосики, наткнулся на гемплей Shadow Blade: Reload. Думаю, хороший платформер, надо бы скачать потыкаться. Скачиваю, запускаю, нету комиксных вставок…Думаю ну хрен с ним, хатаб, наверное повырезал. Такой ладно….дождусь распродажи. Дождался. Запуска. И в лицензии их тоже нет. А английской версии они есть. Пошёл смотреть сюжет на ютубе.
I enjoyed this fast-paced old school 2d platformer. Totally feels like you are playing as a capable ninja!
Firstly, make sure you have LAV extensions installed if you want to watch the animated videos that tell the story during the game. The install folder has an exe you can run, and it works, but I would install the basic K-Lite codec pack which includes this and more and is up to date, and I can confirm 100% unlocked the game videos. I have a soft spot for this game as it does exactly what I want out of an action platformer - that being responsive, focused harcore action without being OTT like speed run type "super speed" titles and focusing on combat, i.e., destroying the enemies, on top of the platforming pitfalls you must navigate. Looks good, sounds good, controls well, cheap and worth every cent, this is my type of game. There are hidden bonuses but it's not one of those games you will be wandering endlessly and wondering where to go next, which is precisely what I love about it. Just a straightforward and challenging action game. Oh, it has native 4K support and controller remapping as well as a simple hints page explaining all the movement and attacks available to you. Unfortunately it's one of those older games that doesn't recognise LT and RT, and that is a real shame when I am using a controller with digital triggers, as I find them much easier (cause they are larger) to use, therefore I would have loved to assign dash to RT rather than RB. I will try enabling Steam, input for the game and see if I can work around it that way next time I play it. BTW there is also an option called Xbox one controller for windows, and I have no idea what it deos when enabled, other than disable the d-pad of my Elves 2 Pro or 8bitDo M30. I haven't been able to use the 8bitdo on this one, as RB on that controller exposes itself as LT to the OS, and was therefore unusable, but this was before I understoo d about Steam custom game control profiles, so hopefully can work around it next time and use my favourite controller for 2D games. Still, it's a cheap and SUPER fun Shinobi/Ninja Gaiden style action game and I recommend it.
Buen juego, entretenedlo y con buenas mecánicas
İdare eder bir oyun. Ancak ara sahneleri izleyemediğim için eksi veriyom.
Message:You need to install codecs to watch the videos. という おま環でムービーが再生されないが、無視して進められるのでムービーを見ないでプレイしたおじいちゃんの感想。 (Codecを手動でインストールすれば再生されるらしい。掲示板参照) アスレチックなアクションが好きなら買い。 戦闘はあっさり風味。刀で斬る、手裏剣を刺す、相手は死ぬ! 良い点 ・適度なマップと難易度上昇 ・適度な実績(簡悔開発者は見習うべき) 悪い点 ・Codecエラー ・操作説明不足([空中]→(下+ダッシュor攻撃→即ダッシュ)×Nの説明ある?) ・オブジェクトの認識が難しい(輪郭線や色で対処可能だったかも) ・下系キー+ダッシュor攻撃による誤操作が頻発する 難易度がリニアに上がっていくわけでもなく、たまに簡単な面もでてくる。これは継続してプレイする気にさせる手法だと受け取った。 開発者のわかってますよという匙加減が感じられる作品。良作! ちなDead MageのWebサイトは俺のPCからはMalvertisingになっていて見れないｗ
