Neon Ninja: Pixel Slasher

Neon Ninja: Pixel Slasher (aka Cyber Blade: Action Platformer, it's always great when the developer doesn't even know what their game is called) is yet another of several hundred, if not thousands of garbage low effort endless runners plaguing Steam. Like all endless/autorunners, you're moving and you can't stop. All you can do is avoid the obstacles coming at you in this incredibly shallow shovelware game. It's got platformer and slasher elements as you need to know when to jump and when to attack, making this somewhat complex for an autorunner because you need to use two buttons instead of one. What a tremendous contribution to the gaming industry this is. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the game all-time peak player count was only ONE player. That's right, only one person ever played this at a time. When I played this for the purposes of reviewing it, I equalled the peak player count for the game. OUCH. The only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? Neon Ninja: Pixel Slasher has the almost comically optimistic (if it wasn't so sad) price of around $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. For comparison, the $5 asking price for this game could get you games like "Middle Earth - Shadow of Mordor", "Mad Max" or "The Forest". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this. This game features a number of suspicious, likely fake positive reviews. The reviews all appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and all have very similar wording and writing style. Immediately after this huge peak of reviews, reviews (and player counts) for the game dropped incredibly sharply. This is highly unusual given the very low quality of the game and poor player counts. The "Positive" review score on this game should be taken with a large grain of salt. This might have been done to deceive/mislead gamers into paying for a bad product. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]

This action slasher platformer is short, sweet, and totally adrenaline-fueled! With the auto-run feature, you're straight into the action, slicing and dicing through enemies like a ninja on turbo mode. Sure, it's not gonna last you for days, but man, it packs a punch while it lasts. Plus, the levels are so well-designed, you'll be hooked from the get-go. So, if you're in the mood for a quick burst of intense gaming, this one's your jam!

A slasher platformer, short and snappy. With the auto-run feature, you're slicing through enemies before you can even blink. Yeah, it won't keep you busy for ages, but it's a fun little distraction. The levels are pretty solid, so, if you're up for some quick, mindless slashing, give it a shot

Here's a quickie for ya: this action slasher platformer's got autorun and a funny looking enemies. there's actually a lot of well designed levels and it's pretty sweet!

game's totaly ok, nice figting system and visual style, but I fell like it's too short at the moment, I would like to play many more levels, hope the dev will consider adding more levels and then I will change the review to positive

at first look this game is quite dark and grim, plus pixataled, I am personaly not a fan of that graphic style, but the gameplay mechanics turned out to be quite fun, sometimes it really tests you reflexes, I like the challenge when there are many enemies in a row

This slasher platformer might not cost ya much, but let me tell ya, it's worth every penny! With the auto-run feature, you're slashing and dashing through levels. Yeah, it ain't gonna break the bank, but it sure packs a punch in entertainment value. Give it a whirl, you won't regret it!
