Shinobi: Art of Vengeance (August 29th, 2025)

Think it’s last boss time, gonna leave it for tomorrow


Some of these secret areas of levels are tough! I find them harder than the rifts sometimes!

100% all but 2 levels…but still need to find a couple lab keys. Curious to see what they do/unlock.

Spoiler: “Castle secret area”

This was my personal hell. Started with a full health bar and was getting cooked!!

Funny, that was possibly my hardest part too.

I 100% every level and still it sure yet what the two keys unlock. I'm just watching the game credits role now.

Spoiler: lab keys

Getting that last key after beating Ruse had me like

Wouldn't have spent all that time going back to all the levels before beating Ruse if I'd known

The keys unlocked a nice throwback fight though, wasn't that difficult but it was dope to see this old enemy again

 

[The Wolf Among You]

Finished.
Amazing game.

 

[Zero]

Aint had time to play this past week

 

[daze23]

Ninja Metroid is so dope

 

[DaRealness]

I'm losing my fukking mind with the spikes and glider segment

Yeah, I went back and beat him earlier this week.

Game wasn't even on my radar initially, sleeper hit of the year

Gaming is dead tho

That’s the same shyt that made me put the demo down…the combat is great but navigating around to upgrade Joe is annoying af.

WTF does Shinobi feel like a Ninja Gaiden OG game? It even has the Jump n' Slash move.
The rifts are pissing me off because for some reason, he wont air dash for no reason at certain points. It's weird.

Great game and the art ias dope. I hope Ninja Gaiden is good.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Don't get me wrong Silksong is incredible

But on a personal level, this might be my actual game of the year

Everything just clicked for me and I went back to 100% everything - which I rarely ever do these days

The combat is like nothing else. Getting into a groove feels incredible. There are tons of nods to the original games but with a very modern feel

They honestly cooked and I hope this team gets to remake every dormant Sega IP if they're going to go off like this lol

Forgot I had this pre purchased. Play about 15 and my toddler thought I was mad because of the way I was reacting.

Made me feel like a kid again, with worse hand eye coordination

Crazy juggles too, the yellow guys in the first level caught a 44 piece and about 5 of them were juggles with the daggers.


This will line me up nicely until Ghost of Yotei

Off Topic, But what do you guys think about Lizardcube maybe developing Capcom vs SNK in the future? The animation in Shinobi is incredible. I wonder if they could do what Arcys did with Dragon Ball Fighterz. I'm talking about how Arcsys has their own distinct art style, but when they developed DBFZ they captured the distinct Dragon Ball art style. Maybe Lizardcube can combine the art styles of CvS, SF3, and Garou.

It's known that the developers are fans of both companies.

Now that I figured out how to run up them walls…it’s on
