Completed this game on master mode... if you comprehend how to control Ryu and know how the bosses and enemies behaves it is not that hard... it is hard but you need to master the mechanics.

This game fuckin' kicks ass.

The best version of Ninja Gaiden. This game is truly bliss with its combat.

The best version of the first Ninja Gaiden.
After not having received any games for two generations Ninja Gaiden comes back whit a reboot which perfectly mimics what everyone remembers of the og trilogy.
It's incredibly high difficulty and fast paced action.


Junto com a saga devil may cry, meu hack and slash favorito

Brutally difficult and enjoyable. Completely recommended as an alternative to the Devil May Cry series.

A true masterpiece of the action game genre. A game that rewards skill and precision over everything else and isn't concerned with handing out cool animations to all players because they hit a button a few times. Every time you look cool playing Ninja Gaiden is earned through practice and execution and that makes everything ten times more rewarding than a lot of other games.

Replaying this in 2022, I could not believe how FRESH it felt. The at first quite stiff movement seems like it isn't fit for purpose but you quickly find out how to use every single part of Ryu Hayabusa's arsenal to deal with the increasingly challenging situations thrown at you. It gives the game a feel like no other action game.

Honestly, I couldn't recommend this enough.

incredibly based crackhead game

this games combat is utterly incredible. not enough attention is given to how good it feels to kill enemies in this game, theres an amazing ebb and flow with combat i have yet to see anywhere else

El peor mejor juego que he jugado jamás

Me lo pase un montón de veces sin darme cuenta que me lo pasaba en fácil... talvez por eso no me era tan difícil

Me empute mil veces de tanto morir pero jamás me planteé la idea de dejarlo, es tan bueno en el gameplay y la movilidad es asombrosa, hasta la fecha me encanta. Pronto voy a re visitar toda la franquicia para enojarme como en los viejos tiempos.

A classic, legendary action game that is for the most part a lot of fun. Really hard, sometimes bullshit but has very engaging combat. Story is a complete joke and some of the bosses are despicable but I think I’ll have pretty fond memories overall

This bastard of a game won't let me beat da double thunder worms but it's pretty fun

This game makes me hate myself. This is the first "git gud" game.

You move SO FAST and the game is SO HARD and there are SO MANY movement options. This game was taste-defining for me.

good god this was a hard game

Quien le da 5 estrellas a este juego no se quiere

o maior jogo de ação de todos os tempos. o combate é sublime e a mecânica é profunda.

jogo confuso e dificil demais mas muito bom

This is one of the greatest character action games of all time, DMC5 can eat my ass, this was so much more fun.

Im genuinely shocked this game originally came out in 2004, its aged like the finest of wines, the visuals are obviously dated but the art design has that PS2 charm that im a sucker for.
But the real reason this game is still so good is because its nearly mechanically perfect. The combat is brilliant, the enemy variety and the level design are excellent. And a lot of the bosses have that sekiro feeling of getting to the point where you have mastered everything they can throw it you and you begin to dodge and punish everything perfectly, its extremely rewarding at times solely due to its mechanical depth.
The parkour elements are genuinely impressive, especially for this era, although they are slightly frustrating. This game is hard, really hard, im not sure where it ranks yet as far as hardest games ive played but its defo up there and i love it all the more for that. It wont be for everyone though, this game punishes the new player quite heavily and can initially be quite hard to get into as there really are a lot of early game walls that you can hit hard. Personally though i adore this type of game and its up there with some of my all time faves.


Just as sadistic as I remember. It's definitely the most unforgiving game I've ever played with such a steep technical skill curve. Will absolutely replay from start-to-finish at least once every year.

Strictly mechanically speaking it's basically a perfect video game from top to bottom.

There is a lot to criticize about the rest of the game.

Lemme tell you, this game has put me through the wringer harder than any game has before. Whether we are talking Black or Sigma, this is one of the most grueling, yet confidence instilling games I have EVER played. Its a game that isn't afraid to push you to the ground and BTFO you any time you try to get back up. Yet I always found myself pushing forward and getting back up. As for the game itself, its great. I love the speed of the combat, the fluid nature of Ryu's movement makes for engaging experimentation, the essence system makes for some interesting choices in the heat of combat. The levels tie into each other in a satisfying, inter-connected system that no other game in this genre really does. The only issues I have with this game are the camera (which is a given) and there are some really annoying and useless puzzles every now and then. This game, while flawed, is a masterful grand experience. It is the apex of character action if I can say, right next to titles like the later DMC games and Bayonetta.
