At first glance, the game seems to be just a good looking clone of the classic Ninja Gaiden games with funny dialogues, good humor, and a pretty standard arsenal of abilities. However, in the middle of the game, it makes several plot and gameplay twists and surprises quite a bit.
I still like the first part and DLC more, as the metroidvania part was a bit boring, but I do appreciate the diversity of gameplay over the entire game.
Even though it looks a bit retro visually, the controls are surprisingly smooth and precise. It requires quick and accurate actions from the player, but it doesn't feel unfairly difficult, so it was a blast to play it.
8.5/10
