Super House of Dead Ninjas

I got into SHoDN back in 201X and decided to dust it off in 2026 for another spin. I have some negative nitpicks about some aspects of the game's design and unlocks (game is sorta old and it's whatever), but overall, this is an arcade-y classic for sure. The "in the zone" feel you get from descending the tower while keeping your rage meter filled is super addicting. The visuals are also really cool. Now, listen to me, ok? The DLC. [b]- My. BELOVED. Scythe. -[/b] GOTTT DAMNNN. This beautiful weapon... there's a small learning curve to overcome but it turns SHoDN from a fun game to [i]crack cocaine[/i]; it's ridiculous. I like playing really fast and the gameplay is already naturally fast; but with the scythe equipped, your APM effectively quadruples and you start absolutely ZOOMING through floors. Mashing melee 50 times a second and doing some jump-dash-down spike cancel tech that catapults you through the sound barrier. Using the scythe makes up like 80% of my enjoyment of this game. Completely worth the utter destruction of my fingers. 10/10 Would dash into spikes again.

The game may not be for me but for people who like the fast paced platformer genre i can't deny that they would probably love this game. It's difficult but also very satisfying if you can get a good clean run in.

Love it. Fast paced time killer!!!

Could have been a fun game without the timer punishing actually looking at the scenery and observing surroundings. Pass.
