The Ninja Gaiden Games in Tecmo are infamous because of their difficulty, from the Era NES trilogy, consisting in punishing platforms of action from the side to newfangled matches of the Ninja team. The latest entry in this franchise, Ninja Gaiden: RageboundHe doesn’t try to be so challenging; Instead, it focuses on offering an attractive set of combat tools, a tight platform and action, as well as a forceful arrangement for the Ninja Gaiden series, which will continue in 2D.
It is an ideal entry point for recent fans of Ninja Gaiden and a must play for fans of the 2D platform action.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Stars of Kenji Mozu, student of the star of the Ryu Hayabusa series and a member of the Ninja Clan Village Hayabusa. While Ryu is adventure in America, the village of Kenji is attacked by demons with world domination projects, leading her demon Lord to power over humanity.
Kenji is a talented ninja; He can send most enemies with cutting his katana, and overcome the danger and achieve great highlands using the Somersault movement called Guilotine, which causes the 8-bit retrieors of Ryu Hayabusa. This technique of strengthening of the guillotine sees Kenji jumping and reflects enemies with his pulled sword. This plays a key role in platforming challenges when jumping through the bottomless pits, boss battles and contacts with flying enemies.
Kenji’s skills also include movements such as Dodge Roll, which offers a miniature invincibility, and hyperdid attacks that allow him to feed a fatal cut that can divide enemies and stunned bosses. Hyper Charge can be obtained by killing some enemies (noticed by a glowing aura) or by dedication to the edge of health. And some enemies and obstacles are best defeated with a hyperslarity, which adds a strategic layer to fight. In the face of a powerful enemy or with a immense shield, you will want, well, aura of farm.
But Kenji’s skills become much more compelling when he connects with the spirit of the competing member of the Ninja Clan, Kumori. You play briefly as kumori in Ragebound To learn her set of movement, which is more focused on reach-kingi, as well as most of Kenji’s skills. Kenji-Kumori connects our hero, giving him a more sophisticated and convincing set of tools. This includes many bullets options and a great movement called RageBound art.
The Kenji and Kumori tool set is still developing Ninja Gaiden: RageBound’s Six to eight hours. There is a shop in a game where you can buy talismans that change Kenji’s abilities and benefits, and even replace Kumori missiles with different types of kick. Even RageBound art can be adapted to your game style; You can exchange a mass attack with one that complements Kenji’s health or gives it, for example, a spinning death shield.

One sec Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound It offers a variety of game style, its levels are very structured. Enemies are placed or seem reliable, offering a clear critical prosecutor’s path and rhythm for action. Even when I experience every level for the first time and playing sloppy, I saw very clear ways to improve and a well -designed term with which you can play. Ragebound It is built with excellent races on the mind of levels. And although I gained a solid B rating on many levels, I saw the paths to get rankings A and S with practice and patience.
There is a lot of replay Ninja Gaiden: RageboundPlus optional ways to difficulty playing for enthusiasts/masochists Ninja Gaiden. The store in the game offers talismans that Kenji’s debuff or makes a control point less genial. AND Ragebound He is mostly genial. While some bosses are hard, the control scoring is recurrent, and these checkpoints are elegantly placed. The game generously gives health contributions and breath space. The levels reload very quickly and just listen to the anti -human boss of the demon.

In addition to the game spectacularly, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound It is both graphically and fatal. Sprite kitchen work is fantastic; Kenji and Kumori enliven smoothly and clearly, just like their enemies, which purely attack telegraphic. The music of the game stands out as a general tribute to Ninja Games of Yore: There are notes with 8-bit Ninja Gaiden games and some Mixture of Shinobi from classic Japanese music and techno from the 90s.
I have almost nothing negative to say Ninja Gaiden: RageboundIn addition, it ends too early. But there are many hidden secrets, side missions and challenges to chase the stories. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound He is a great surprise, a game that reflects the heart and soul of many eras of Ninja Gaiden and manages to stand alone thanks to solid gameplay, strict control and pointed presentation.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. The game was checked on PS5 using the pre -release download code provided by the publisher of Note.
