Wind of shuriken

A great game in the style of a classic platformer. Well done. I recommend it.

This game provides a good challenge for the sub-$1 on sale price. The game alternates between Ninja Gaiden-style platforming action and space shmup sections. Movement is janky but controls are tight, enemy hitboxes are sometimes unconventional but easily discerned, and the difficulty oscillates wildly but it's still very fun. The first shmup level is exponentially harder than any other following it. Boss fights got really challenging and cool, especially the finale. The story was strange but bland. Also, I probably would recommend the game more if the characters didn't look like the ones from those mobile phone ads. Make these pixel arty and I bet more people would be interested!

Note: My review of "Wind of shuriken" is going to seem very similar to my review for "Resurrection of mind"... because it's basically the same game, reskinned badly and the levels shuffled around a bit. Why dump garbage onto Steam once when you can do it twice for twice as many roubles? This a very poor quality Eastern Bloc platformer from Gamenergy Studio (acquired, apparently, by asset flip scammer, DIG Games). Unlike most games from DIG Games, this was a genuine but failed attempt to make a console platformer and publish it on Steam instead of consoles because.. who can get into the minds of shovelware pushers? Anyway there's a drab techno-ninja theme, awful graphics, and zero polish... this is a clunky mess with no proper balance. Controls are a clunky mess, there's no mouse control, and they can't be remapped, so playing this is like dragging your fingernails down a chalkboard then eating the chalk. We all know this isn't really a serious attempt at making and selling a high quality, valuable game for gamers... it's a cash grab from a known shady publisher, famous for pushing plagiarism and fake game asset flips onto Steam. DIG Games have shown a repeat pattern of unet…
