(Status: I just startetd world 2, got all the upgrades, got all the scrolls from w 1) First of all, as some said already, there is a lot of potential and I think it is amazing for a free game! So please check this game out b4 looking at the scores or other comments! It has a lot of beatiful art, good background music, many cool effects, creative levels, fun motiondriven gameplay, perfect PC perormace and immerses you into the position of a fantasy shadowfight style ninja! (mostly) Now the "but": -I respect the unthinkable amount of effort that must've gone into some of the trap- and leveldesign, but please keep it varied instead of clustered and repetitive in future (gotta check out the other worlds but that was hindering me the most) +maybe just remove some traps/enemies for 3-6 Levels and then reintroduce them in a different way! (as you sometimes did, but they usually were mixed up with very well known stuff) -I found the shop to be unnecessary/forgettable but useful (as it should be!), yet it felt necessary for the "feel" of progression after some repetitive missions, but since those just spam you with currency there is barely a reason not to just spam the upgrade button +maybe less but longer missions with something like a midway checkpoint (like in New super mario bros 1) could provide a better pacing and more room for slightly ore fluent gameplay -more fluency, another yet even more personal wish during my sessions was more "fluency" (run, slice, run, walljump, run,...plan out one complex route through a section and execute fluently-end up satisfied) +these "fluid" sections (as I describe in the above) were the best, but are stopped by waiting sections like the "blood" walls, or extreme clusters of enemies and traps on one spot (so you HAVE to wait for the specialattacks to recharge instead of planning ahead), less waiting sections the better (for me) -Please change the soundeffect of the blades!!! I got actual headaches after playing each of my 2 sessions because of them! +a sound optionsmenu during the missions would be wonderful too, to adjust sfx (world and player sfx maybe?) and music -the game can be played veery fluently, but still here some of the glitches/bugs I found: +standing infront of the revealed sniper guy the game makes you glitch into the wall when the plate closes +jumping off edges will sometimes shoot you off, sometimes even through walls, which can get very unpredictable, fun tho +the dash ability sometimes glitches me through walls or "bloodstreams" when I double jumped before +I somehow got 46/45 scrolls in w 1 Big thumbs up from me despite all this criticism, maybe it can help for future projects! Maybe I'll find good/better solutions in the later Levels to some of my problems too, so take all this as the opinion of a perfectionistic long term Shinobi Fan Peace!

Игра "Revenge of the Shadow Ninja" цепляет своей олдскульной пиксельной графикой и динамичным геймплеем, отсылающим к классическим аркадным боевикам. Игровой процесс прост в освоении, но достаточно сложен для того, чтобы бросить вызов даже опытным игрокам. Игрок управляет ниндзя, жаждущим мести, и пробивается сквозь толпы врагов, используя разнообразные приемы и оружие, такие как сюрикены и меч. Визуальный стиль, хоть и ретро, выполнен с любовью и вниманием к деталям. Анимация плавная, окружение разнообразное и атмосферное. Музыкальное сопровождение также отлично передает дух старых аркадных экшенов, добавляя динамики и напряжения в происходящее на экране. Однако, у игры есть и недостатки. Сюжет довольно прост и служит, скорее, оправданием для бесконечной череды сражений. Некоторые уровни могут показаться однообразными, а управление, хоть и отзывчивое, иногда требует привыкания. Тем не менее, игра "Revenge of the Shadow Ninja" – это увлекательный экшен, который подарит немало часов ностальгии и динамичного геймплея любителям жанра. Это достойный представитель нишевых инди-проектов, который явно заслуживает внимания.
Когда то её скачивал с плей маркета, раньше она называлась Ниндзя Араши, я её называл Ниндзя в параше. Сейчас прошёл за компом. Что могу сказать, в игре 45 уровней и 46-й с боссом. Первые 15 уровней норм, вторые 15 уровней посложнее, а вот с 31 по 45 это капкан на капкане и капканом погоняет. Навыки можно вкачать за 30 уровней, а потом открывается возможность сохраняться самому в уровне (помимо контрольных точек). Уровни сделаны по определённым паттернам которые неплохо прослеживаются, и на уровне на определённом участке всегда понимаешь чего ожидать например: Колесо на горке. Уровни кажутся максимально однообразными хотя видно что их пытались сделать максимально разнообразными. Ну и финальный босс это нечто. В игре достаточно багов, и не продуманных вещей. Некоторые из них встречаются и на финальном боссе, иногда становиться не понятно что тебя убило. Чем дальше проходишь игру тем душнее она становиться. Проходить это на сенсорном экране до конца было бы полным адом, я проходил на геймпаде. Для любителей пощекотать себе нервы рекомендую.
EN+RU review. My first negative review in which I strongly do not recommend this game to anyone! It is terrible from any side - full of bugs, an absolutely crooked port obviously from mobile phones, terrible character control, strange placement of game buttons, and reverse incomprehensible control of the menu and pause... Everything is bad in this game, the plot - there is none, the control is mega crooked, the level design is terrible, irritation from constant death hundreds of times from a pixel touch to a thorn or spike, the upgrade and pumping system is terrible... Do not waste your time on this game under any circumstances, I spent 8+ hours of my life for you, so that you, using my example, simply bypassed 'this', even despite the fact that it is free! ======================================================================= Мое первое негативное ревью в котором я крайне не рекомендую никому эту игру! Она ужасна с какой стороны не посмотри - полно багов, абсолютно кривой порт очевидно с мобильных телефонов, ужасное управлении персонажем, странное расположении игровых кнопок, и реверсивной непонятное управление меню и паузой... В этой игре плохо все, сюжет - его нет, управление - мега кривое, дизайн уровней ужасен, раздражение от постоянной смерти сотни раз от пиксельного прикосновения к колючке или шипу, система апгрейда и прокачки ужасна... Не тратьте свое время на эту игру ни в коем случае, я за вас потратил 8+ часов своей жизни, чтобы вы на моем примере просто обошли стороной 'это', даже не смотря на то, что она бесплатная!
The "everything is black" art style is very unsatisfying. There's no emotions, the environment feels life-less. I played keyboard and mouse and it wasn't showing keyboard controls, it was showing Playstation layout, (in defence to the game i had a switch controller plugged, which could've caused confusion)...the controls were pretty terrible, even the left joystick for movement was bugging when going left (why?), so i had to use the +pad, which is cringe in modern standards. (XBOX LAYOUT) The "B" to attack, "LB" to dash and "RT" to open the pause menu was cringe. To go back a menu, i had to press the space bar because there was no control to go back on the controller. The opening cutscene was a bit cringe. Overall, an unsatisfying experience for the first 5 minutes
[b][u] UM JOGO GRÁTIS QUE DIVERTE, DESAFIA E DURA BASTANTE! [/u][/b] [hr][/hr] Revenge Of The Shadow Ninja é um jogo 2D plataforma bem desafiador. Ele possui 3 áreas, com 2 áreas possuindo 15 fases cada e a última sendo a boss fight. Ele contém uma dificuldade nem tão difícil e sacana como I Wanna Be The Guy: Gaiden e nem tão fácil que vai enjoar tão rápido, o game vai elevando o nível de dificuldade conforme você avança e te possibilita melhorar as skills do seu personagem com uma lojinha que você troca moedas obtidas na fase por vantagens. A história dele é bem clichêzona seguindo o padrão de um ninja correndo atrás de vingança (como o próprio nome sugere) e se não tiver mais de um final (que eu não sei mesmo se tem ou não) ele tem um encerramento bem comum mas com o diferencial de ser contado como se fosse uma história em quadrinhos que eu achei algo bem legal. A trilha sonora do jogo é simples também mas eles se atentaram a mudar de música conforme troca de área que faz diferença pra demorar um pouco mais de você ficar de saco cheio de escutar a mesma musiquinha toda hora. [b] Recomendo esse jogo para quem gosta de jogos plataforma e quer passar um tempo sendo desafiado em reflexos e jogabilidade, por ele ser um jogo grátis ter um prazo médio de 5-8 horas de gameplay é um ponto muito positivo, normalmente jogos assim costumas durar nem metade desse tempo, enfim, não espere um jogo extremamente bem feito ou um indie memorável, deixe sua expectativa baixa que provavelmente ele vai te divertir mais.[/b]
This is a masterpiece as far as free Steam games go. You can wall climb, double jump, throw shurikens, dash through enemies and become camouflaged by transforming. Lots of levels and a cool overall design with some upgrades and things of that nature. You have to collect scrolls that are hidden on the levels so you can't run through the whole thing. I like the violent story and there's even a final boss.
Rage Simulator Platformer/Combat game where you throw Shurikens and constantly run into multi-step traps designed to make you lose your ♥♥♥♥ or laugh (guess that depends on you ;) No, it is truly something to behold, how annoying this game can be. You gotta see it to believe it. After you level up all of your stuff (I recommend doing Lives first), the game is quite fun, albeit still frustrating AF. This game is designed to piss you off, no question about it. If you can't take a bit of frustration, skip it. If you can handle a bit of screaming at the monitor from time to time, and mastering the controls/traps, it eventually becomes REALLY FUN! AND FREE! All you have to lose is your time, I'd say give it a shot! 8/10
