SHINOBI NON GRATA

Very cool game! Controls are perfect, very fun weapons, great bosses. Music and art also very good, pretty atmospheric. 8-Bit Ninja Scrolls, it's as awesome as it sounds. And it's perfect for casual gamers and for hardcore audience, i think. It is pretty light, very straightforward - and that's what makes it so much fun.

[i]Shinobi Non Grata[/i] is a homage to Irem's cool arcade game [i]Ninja Spirit/Saigo no Nindo[/i], very innovative for 1988 with its real-time weapon switching and relentless ninja action. It too has a number of secondary weapons that can be used at any time besides our katana to defeat the hordes of ninjas, animals, spirits and demons (throwing stars, kusarigama and bombs, plus three new ones: a hand cannon, a lightning bolt behaving like a seeking missile, and a magic smart bomb that destroys all enemy bullets), with the difference that they are not infinite and we need to keep killing enemies to fill their gauge, thus adding a risk/reward element to the combat (but they also can't be powered up). Unlike that game, however, this is more of a boss game a la Treasure's [i]Alien Soldier[/i] and the like, with very short and fairly easy stages and several tough boss fights in each chapter. It's a cool game, but its arcade-style nature and lack of replayability mean that it's going to be short, so I suggest to wait for sales.

What a perfect little game. Its strength is letting you cut down enemies like the NES ninja of old but with some great controls and a decent arsenal. Blew through it in one sitting, enjoyed it immensely. Strikes a good balance of tough, but not too punishing. Will definitely return to it in the future to play it again.

Very good overall, but a bit overpriced. If you can get it half off then it is definitely a short but worthwhile run.

This game is sick and feels good to play. My only complaint is the robot boss sucks; otherwise have fun.

I wanted to play more before i gave it a review, but it's a really rad indie action platformer that borrows a lot from Ninja Spirit on the turbo. Like super cool actually, check it out
