Ninja Shodown

This is a very fun arcade game (when you get really into it) it has a rhythm of his own and its progressively difficult. At the start you will feel sluggish and wont know how to manage the enemies, specially if many accumulate in your screen but with time, you will be flying through the stage like a deadly shadow juggling many enemies. That said, the game DOES HAVE QUITE SOME FLAWS. First, You will need a controller ( a highly responsive one with a d-pad preferably) since there is no way to remap the keyboard controls and they are uncomfortable as they are, and believe me, you need quick response from your controller to have a chance. Second, there is no "practice/easy mode" for arcade, 5 levels + the boss level must be done in one run (old school hard...), you gain lives for each segment you finish in less than 30 seconds (without dying more than once) and each level has 5 segments, so you could potentially end up with around 20 extra lives for the boss... which won't happen unless you already have a strategy for each segment. A practice mode would have been nice to learn each level better, instead of having to start over to finally reach again the level you are currently stuck at for a chance to get better at that part. Also, its missing some icon to let you know what special weapon you currently hold, so you don't bomb/mine yourself because you don't remember you current weapon or noticed it changed >_< All in all a fun ninja game, quick paced, satisfying once you get used to it, but it can get pretty hard to finish it.

es un buen juego sobre todo para a un amigo llamado claudito (llano) que le facino

2d platform ninja temalı retro havası var atari oyunlarını andırıyor kontrolcu desteği mevcut arkaşınızla belki daha eğlenceli olabilir tek sarmaz

Ce jeu est génial; pas l'temps d's'ennuyer. Ambiance (frénétique & délire), musique, gameplay, graphisme => que du bon! Des tonnes d'items, d'ennemis. Les actions sont rapides, répondent très bien etc. Un jeu à challenge en solo. Co op local. Il manque plus que le multi online pour co op ou même se fritter mutuellement contre les joueurs du monde xD (Au pire testez-le ou faites vous rembourser)

Great game - except if you had that heretic idea, that you will play it with keyboard, as you dont have any controller at home at all. Do not buy it. Worst keyboard layout ever. Could not change it.

Great music from Matt Gray (Last Ninja 2). Nice little, only offline 4 Player, fast paced Ninja survival fight Game. No support and no Exit Button :)

Ninja Shodown è un gioco esilarante e divertente, con la sua semplicità ed immediatezza riuscirà a tenervi incollati per ORE intere, soprattutto se avete un amico (o amici) con cui giocarci!

Fantastic game that can be very addictive once you get into it. Not super long but it definitely has some difficulty at first until you learn the enemies, basic tactics, master the controls, etc. Both the main mode and survival are great, and VS. is a nice plus too. It's really got that arcadey pick up and play value. Well worth the money from an awesome developer.

"Why this game is not more popular is beyond me." ...exactly my words PLUS the Soundtrack alone is worth it and the game is also Singleplayer enough fun.
