Description

Step into a living comic book in this new take on the Ninja Gaiden series. Brandishing his ninja sword and the mecha weapons in his cyber arm, Yaiba slaughters zombies with brutal, over-the-top abandon. Will you slice enemies to pieces, crush them with Yaiba's cyborg arm or just rip off a zombie’s arms to use as nunchucks?

Please don't pretend this is a good game after Ninja Gaiden 4 releases, even if you hate NG4. The humor aged like a piece of crap on the street, the enemy variety is absolutely poor along with damage balancing for both

pretty fun game, I don't know why the sentiment was pretty negative back then, maybe because the gameplay is different than your typical ninja gaiden. Its exactly what you expected from the cover: 2010s cell shaded gory

For a game from 2014, it still holds up remarkably well. Mixed reviews likely stem from its hardware demands. I play on a Raider GE77 HX laptop, and I’ll admit I often got frustrated when the game crashed or wouldn’t

One of the worst action games I've ever played. Super obnoxious enemies, weak main character, terrible combat. Game crashed after a boss and my progress was wiped to a checkpoint about one hour before. Stay away.

This game is F##KING BADA$$!!! Have a tough mentality going into it and be willing to learn and you'll be fine and love it. PAY ATTENTION though. Focus. You can't just zone out

really fun game about a zombie cyborg killing actual zombies. Combat is so well designed even when some things could be changed and it dosen't feel floaty at all, your main enemy in the game is bad camera and some
