This 2025 megadrive game presented as "better than most snes game" has assets traced over existing sprites (Wild Guns and Shinobi III) and AI-generated backgrounds. Garbage game, garbage company, garbage shill youtuber.

The gameplay was a new take for both series, it was a slower paced ARPG with combat similar to a Souls game! It was also cool to see characters from both series interact, it was a fun game!

unlabelledView post →I was today years old when I learned that it's only the red cars that can damage you on the road section in 5-2 in Revenge of Shinobi. I always thought that section was the hardest part of the entire game and an absolute YOLO to the finish line, and turns out it's actually quite easy. Oops.

unlabelledView post →Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is probably my favorite game about revenge of the last couple of decades because it doesn't do any corny moralizing about revenge and in fact frames revenge (correctly) as cool and good, with only positive consequences for you at the end
