Yasai Ninja

Tags: 3PHS - Third Person Hack & Slash Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Too low ambitions and limited. Outcompeted by any half decent japanese hack&slash. Even Orc Attack Flatulent Rebellion is superior to this. Outstanding Issues: -The starting castle's environment is all too cramped and samey looking making it a disorienting affair to beat that stage -Footstep sounds from onion protagonist in rapid machine gun-style fire drives you mad -Onion protagonist causes camera to shake due to bobbing -Game breaks pace with busywork such as pointless dragging of furniture around -Combat is mostly a simple button mashing affair, with the occasional use of the double jump to escape and special attack move - rinse repeat (combos do exist but are rarely critical and often consist of mashing the attack button multiple times in a row anyways) -Onion Senpai and Afro Brocoli protagonists are a cringe idea -Camera panning when using right stick is somehow dizzying -Game feels like it is always wasting your time, having you enter an area - pull levers left and right - before you can proceed straight -QTE events bring nothing valuable to the experience -Plot does not make sense, quest for revenge but does not state revenge for what, just some vague stuff about losing honor -Many immediate death water zones inserted between otherwise silly platforming makes a miscalculation a sentence to replay a boring sequence another time -No kinetic feel to the combat Pros Xbox 360 pad fully supported and worked well Price is now very low Did not encounter bugs or major performance issues Cell shading did an okay job for the environment You can rescue/be rescued when one of the guys are down Sidescroll Platforming sections were cool Game gets less disorienting after chapter 1 Once you get past cringe the protag's fit well with their assigned veggie and have some character Completion before review : 40%
