Onimusha was excellent when it first launched on the PS2 in 2001, but this 2019 remaster holds up incredibly well.
The combat is overly extravagant despite its simplicity, and sometimes gets lost identifying whether it wants to be accessible to fans or there for fighting game players, but it’s still, overall, a very competent ninja title worthy of your time and attention. The 3D arenas of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm return with Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, and the game lovingly recreates the style of the anime to perfection.
#14 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 The 2D plane was still there, the visuals still look great, and the progression system made the game far more approachable for a new audience in ways that the original games never were.
Though never really reaching the great heights of the franchise’s past, the 2014 reboot of Strider from Double Helix and Capcom did a pretty great job of reworking systems beloved in the originals into function in this modern take. Skulls Of The Shogun is a game that shouldn’t work by all rights, and yet, is an absolute gem. It has a brilliantly quirky visual style that shouldn’t work but does, the gameplay is a dream, despite it feeling like it tonally shouldn’t work in theory, and the game will constantly surprise at how accessible it is for new faces. You wouldn’t think that a turn-based tactical ninja game would be a nice pairing, and yet, Skulls Of The Shogun delivers in all facets. Checkpointing is poor, penalising the less-versed stealth players among us, but take your time, immerse yourself, and you’ll soon be playing by all the rules and loving the world of Aragami. While neither Aragami title is necessarily going to blow you away, both titles have an incredible sense of style and blend stealth movement and puzzles together in a way that is always rewarding. The “fast-paced, hyper caffeinated” action platforming of Super Hyperactive Ninja is certainly something, but due to some relatively poor level design, it takes what should be a fun and engaging premise and drags it through the mud, dulling any possibility of having genuine, uninterrupted fun. The Xbox One has played host to some truly exceptional ninja titles so join us as we recount 20 of the platform’s very best ninja titles. Ninja’s never age, and in this modern day and age, the art of the ninja at work is as profoundly engaging as it has ever been.
