Reviews
Este es de esos indies pequeños pero con identidad muy clara. Juegas como un espíritu vengativo en un Japón feudal onírico, invisible para los humanos pero al mismo tiempo vulnerable a su mera presencia. La idea de que el tiempo mismo te va drenando vida y que solo puedes recuperarte absorbiendo energía de la naturaleza o eliminando soldados hace que cada avance se sienta tenso y muy táctico. El combate mezcla sigilo y posicionamiento... no eres un ninja todopoderoso, sino un fantasma frágil que necesita pensar bien cada movimiento. La exploración va contando la historia a pedazos, entre ruinas, santuarios y cementerios, lo que encaja muy bien con el tono melancólico del juego. El arte dibujado a mano y la atmósfera “pintada con tinta” le dan un estilo propio que lo hace destacar entre otros top-down. 100% recomendable.
