Sure, let’s delve into this. So, Dotemu and The Game Kitchen are revving up for next week’s launch of NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. That’s hitting our screens on July 31. Excited yet? Let’s dive in!
Oh, quick note before you proceed—gotta verify your age to view this video. Yeah, another one of those.
A Fresh Twist on the Classic Side-Scroller
Right, so here’s what caught my eye: NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound, coming from those geniuses behind Blasphemous, is like this beautiful mashup of ye olde ninja lore and the crazy-intense 3D world of now. Imagine, the best of back-then meets the best of now, crafting this epic tale. Goosebumps, anybody?
Breaking Open the Ninja Saga
Storytime! We kick off with Ryu Hayabusa, doing his duty, off to America to honor his father’s last wish. Boom! While he’s gone, things go haywire, demonic chaos breaches into his village. Typical, right? In steps Kenji Mozu, a young ninja who’s been Ryu’s understudy. The stakes? High. The demons? Higher.
So, Kenji finds himself in a bit of a pickle. Needs to dip into those well-hidden powers, forms a—get this—temporary truce with the Black Spider Clan. This unlikely alliance just might be what saves them—or not. Who am I to judge ninja politics?
Old Meets New: Game Edition
That nostalgia? It’s alive and kickin’. Imagine original game fun with some modern surgical precision. Kenji teams up with a character named Kumori. Double trouble, if you ask me. Control them both and make some magic (or chaos, whatever floats your boat).
And, let’s not forget about this cool Ninja Fusion thing. Imagine obliterating enemies with ease—a little too easy? Who knows, but mastering it? Ha! Good luck. Even seasoned players might break a sweat.
Pixel Art Chaos
This world feels like—how do I say this—an explosive visual treat. It’s like those old cartoons, but on steroids (in a good way). Each baddie’s detailed to the T, it’s almost unreal. So, if you’re like me and love that old-school vibe with a new-age twist, your eyeballs are in for a treat.
Ready to try your hand at ninja mastery, or are you sitting this one out?
