SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance

The game could be great but the platforming part is quite clunky. Add to that some bad level design and it can be plain frustrating. I also don't think the collectibles bring anything and it's quite lame to go back to early places just to get them. Still a great change from the classic arcade.

Such a good 2D Platformer. the art is gorgeous! and the combat is fun. really a must play if you like the genre.

Um excelente jogo, curtir por horas, muitas coisas para desbloquear, fator replay altíssimo principalmente para chegar aos 100%. Jogo simples, fluído e divertido valeu a pena esperar uma promoção dele

oh boy was that really "hardcore". finally finished it after 40 hrs. the game is NOT meant to be played on hardcore first try, but I am a masochist when it comes to gaming haha. when it comes to metroidvanias it's the toughest i've tried. the game is NOT for button mashing on hardcore, i've heard normal is much easier. so anyway be sure to get good to be able to finish hardcore! Awesome game overall 10/10 PRO TIP: use the bombs vs armor (you're gonna need it), the shuriken sucks!

amazing game. love it

As someone who has been slicing through Sega's Shinobi series since the Master System days—with SMS Shinobi (and countless hours of playing alongside my little brother) holding a permanent, cherished spot in my gaming heart—I am beyond thrilled to say the developers absolutely nailed this one. Playing Shinobi: Art of Vengeance feels like stepping into a time machine. It genuinely evokes the exact same raw emotions, tension, and sheer joy I felt back in the day. The team captured that classic ninja magic while modernizing the experience flawlessly. A massive shoutout has to go to the soundtrack too. The music in this new entry is phenomenal, reminding me of the legendary, pulse-pounding beats of Yuzo Koshiro's original compositions that defined the franchise's golden era. Beyond the nostalgia, the game stands entirely on its own two feet mechanically: Pacing & Difficulty: The difficulty curve is tuned to absolute perfection. It ramps up and challenges you as you progress, but it expertly avoids that cheap, controller-throwing frustration that so many action-platformers fall into. Progression: The depth of the character upgrades is staggering, offering tons of ways to customize your playstyle and tackle encounters. Without a doubt, this has easily become my favorite game of its type, period. Whether you are a lifelong veteran who grew up with Joe Musashi or a newcomer looking for top-tier action, this is a masterpiece that should not be missed. Rating: 5/5 Stars

fun
