Solid shinobi game
Love the game. 4 out of 5 because: (1) The Kraken section is just not cool. It does not telegraph properly what you need to hit (in fact, I would call it misleading) and it's right before the boss which makes it double-exhausting. I think I played the level twice and died 30 times each until I saw the path - which would have made me quit the game if I was not so stubborn. (2) The game keeps starting in fullscreen and seems to apply resize blur. I have to manually set it to the highest window resolution and then force that into fullscreen to get clean pixels. Not cool for a pixel-art game. (3) I am not sure it has 24-buck-legs - it's a bit high. You can equip one item, one special and 2 modifiers (changing the rules of the game slightly). The issues is, I keep using what suits my play-style best and find myself not switch them. I don't really use items at all. Special I use once for the boss, mods I will probably keep as-is for the rest of the game (as they suit my play style). Game overall: This is a solid shinobi game. Think of this game like the classics it replicates & honors. It does it well. Good enemy positioning and flow. Not too much diagonal or vertical messes. It adds a few twists which it gradually gives to the player over the span of some levels. Dying or missing something is not a concern - aside from the fact that you have to (re)finish the level to "get" collectibles (no quit-outs). When you die, you respawn at the checkpoint of which there are a few in each level - and I think they are mostly spaced well. The fun: There are some though enemies that require you to charge up by killing another enemy. So you end up with this flow mechanic. Also, there are some challenge sections and some hidden secrets (but most are quickly found and solved). Music, Art, Enemy behavior, all solid as others said. Bosses will indeed require you to do some retries. For some, it may be too frustrating that they have to beat the boss or redo the level if the game is quit.
