looks good, but gameplay looks nothing like classic shinobi :patrice:
It looks like shinobi 3

i know me and my brother rented that game like 50x’s. The rock falling segments you gotta scale, the fire magic move, the wall jumping, kunai, run slash moves, etc.

they maintained about as much of the essence of those games as they could while updating the mechanics and look

esthetically it does and some of the levels look similar but gameplay it doesn’t so much.

Combat in the OG games was more kunai based, with most enemies going down with one hit. Enemies got health bars in this one and combat seems more melee/combo focused.

It looks and plays more like the OG Ninja Gaiden than Shinobi.
And where's the old-school gun?

The art style looks dope though.

A Metroidvania or a hack 'n slash platformer?

It doesn't matter to me cause I'm buying it regardless but just curious.
