From the acclaimed team behind Blasphemous, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound successfully unites the classic lore and gameplay of the Tecmo-developed (now KOEI TECMO GAMES) NINJA GAIDEN series from the classic era with the depth and intensity of the modern 3D entries. The best of both eras come together to create an epic and thrilling adventure.
Our story begins when Ryu Hayabusa journeys to America to honor his father's will. While he is away, the barrier between the human and the demon worlds suddenly shatters, unleashing a terrifying army upon the Hayabusa Village, which now faces an unprecedented threat in Ryu's absence.
To stand against this new threat, Kenji Mozu, a young ninja from the Hayabusa Village, rises to the challenge! Trained by Ryu, he fights fiercely but soon finds himself in desperate straits. Forced to tap into forbidden power, Kenji sets aside centuries of animosity and forms an alliance with the sinister Black Spider Clan, convinced that combining their souls and skills is the only way to protect the world out of the Demon Lord's grasp!
Combining old-school feeling with modern precision, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound retains the pick-up-and-play action of the classic titles, while introducing new layers of depth.
Alongside the new protagonist, Kenji Mozu, is the skilled assassin Kumori. Take control of these two powerful ninjas simultaneously and unravel their interconnected stories.
Use the Ninja Fusion to unleash devastating abilities and obliterate your enemies. NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound features impeccable mechanics that are easy to learn but hard to truly master, challenging the skills of even the most seasoned fans of the NINJA GAIDEN series!
Step into a reimagined version of the classic NINJA GAIDEN universe, brought to life through stunning, meticulously crafted visuals. Every enemy is recreated with a level of detail that was once impossible.
The brutal, nostalgia-filled aesthetic of NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound pays homage to the past while pushing the boundaries of modern pixel art, making every battle a feast for the eyes.
Do you have what it takes to become a true ninja master?

Fantastic!
The game is fantastic!! Great graphics, level design, and the bosses were fun to figure out. Loved every second of it. If could add one more thing, it would be a streamliined arcade mode. It would make the game a modern day classic.

It's a good game, but no Momiji.
The game controls amazing, looks amazing, sounds amazing, and is amazing! But.. there are a few issues. When the game starts out, it's fast and fluid, but as you get further in, they introduce more and more enemies that take mroe time to kill. So, it becomes absurdly hard to avoid damage. But the biggest issue is no Momiji. LIke, you had a no name shrine maiden talking and doing stuff at the start? Like, WTF? Momiji is right there! She's the Dragon Shrine Maiden of the Hayabusa village and she's nowhere to be seen. To say I'm dissapointed would be an understatment. It's not like the story couldn't have her. You were LITERALLY in the Hayabusa village as it's buring down (again, yes, they need insurance.) and there's a no name shrine maiden there. So, I'll bump this up to five stars if you remove the noname shrine maiden and replace her wtih Momiji. Literally, that's all you have to do for me to bump up the score. My earlier critique be damned lol
