About Ninja Shodown

✦ AI summary

Battle up to three friends in fast-paced local multiplayer arena combat across six game modes and five unique locations, armed with everything from katanas to bazookas. Customize your ninja and fight solo, team up, or compete to retrieve the stolen Jade Katana before humanity falls into darkness.

It’s every ninja for themselves in the ultimate battle for the Jade Katana! Fight alone, team up or take on friends in brutal arena-based combat where the mighty prevail and the weak pay the ultimate price: death and dishonour!

The year is 199X and the world teeters on the brink of total destruction. The mystical Jade Katana, stolen! Its power, so lethal! In the wrong hands, humanity will fall! And so the Viper Clan, sworn guardians of the Jade Katana, prepare to embark on their most perilous mission yet: retrieve the sword at all costs! Use katanas, shurikens, bombs, machine guns, shotguns, bazookas and more as you battle your way through a variety of locations to become the ultimate ninja and fulfill the ancient vow of the Viper Clan.

• Intense local multiplayer action for one to four players, either competitively or co-operatively… you choose!
• Six distinct game modes – Last Ninja, Battle, Coin, Crown, Arcade and Infinite – and five unique locations – Temple, Dojo, Downtown, Museum and Area 88 – each with their own gameplay features.
• Customise your ninja, then use a range of deadly ninja (and not-so-ninja) weapons to destroy anyone who gets in your way!
• Awesome stereo techno soundtrack by Matt Gray… feel the retro vibe!

Very tough arena platformer. If tough is your thing, this one is a definite recommend! In Ninja Shodown you have to defeat a certain amount of enemies each level, which spawn throughout said level. The game has very good sound, music, and presentation. It goes for an authentic eighties arcade vibe. The difficulty included, as if to ask for another quarter after you die again. Personally I didn't like this game, and the friends with whom I played this with thought it was a bit too hard as well. Only recommended if you like a merciless challenge. 60/100 [table] [tr] [td] [i]More reviews at [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/39546715/]Omnivore Gamer[/url], games that are easy to control (for handicapped gamers).

This game is about fast-paced ninja arena fights. The fast movement speed of the ninja characters and one-hit-die vitality make the play more challenging. It could be a good casual game if not for its dullness and repetitive gameplay, of which an arena game could easily fall into. The game is somehow too simple to attract gamers. Nevertheless, the ninja protagonist's actions (movement, jumping, wall hanging) look good. The developer could have further developed it into an action game like Ninja Ryukenden (Ninja Gaiden) instead. By the way, there is no game exit button available in the main menu. You just have to forcefully close the game window instead. What a terrible mistake.
