Review

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance breathes new life into the classic franchise, delivering a compelling 2D action platformer experience filled with fast-paced combat, gorgeous visuals, and a rich world to explore. Playing as Joe Musashi, the game excels in providing a combat system that is both accessible for newcomers and deep enough for veterans to enjoy, encouraging the use of combos and a variety of ninja skills. The visually striking environments draw players into the game’s world with unique designs and secrets to uncover, making exploration rewarding. However, while the game entertains with its fluid gameplay and challenging bosses, some players might find the difficulty to fluctuate. Additionally, its level structure could be better balanced to fully showcase the potential of its combat system, leaving room for improvement in future installments. Nonetheless, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a heartfelt homage to its roots that promises thrilling moments for fans old and new.
