Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, 2D action platformer from Blasphemous developers

[Matador]

It´s a shame that we don´t get 3D Ninja Gaiden games anymore. At least we get a 2D one.

Trailer looks good and Blasphemous is a very good 2D action metroidvania, so optimistic about it.

 

[Grauken]

I only care about the 2d ones, so personally this was great news

 

[Grauken]

Btw. if somebody likes 2d Ninja Gaiden / Shinobi games, here are a couple good ones from recent years





This one is a bit older, but still good



I could mention the Messenger but unlike most people I really dislike it

 

[Matador]

Thanks, will take a look.

I liked the Messenger but I think it was overrated.

 

[Machocruz]

The Messenger lacked the cool factor to the visuals. This looks like it has some of the same moves, like bouncing from enemy to enemy which is kind of a gimmick to me. But I'm pretty sure this will be good based on the two Blasphemous.

So I will mention it

Blazing Chrome has a ninja character, although it's more Strider than Ninja Gaiden.



I'd also give the oft overlooked Ninja Gaiden on the Sega Master System a go, it's a bit easy but still pretty cool.

 

[Grauken]

I'd say Blazing Chrome falls more in the Contra appreciation category, though its closely related

Forgot to mention Oniken, though its not as good as the others, still fun

The Messenger's main issue is the terribad writing. Every time the shopkeeper opens his mouth, you'll groan. The MC is painted as a moron, but often it's no fault of his own. Skip dialogues whenever you can.

They doubled down on their terribad writing with their follow-up jRPG where good writing should be even more important

Bad banal Blasphemous bing bing blah. Good Gaiden goes ga-pow ga-splat. ↓ Regressive "retro" recycled reviled revival, retards remarkably riveted.
