    Console port garbage at its finest. Sure, the action, setting, and graphics are fine. But it all runs at a snail's pace in terms of performance, even to this day with my stellar gaming PC. Keyboard controls are a mess, and it doesn't even bother helping you with QTEs as it shows XBOX 360 BUTTONS on the HUD instead of keyboard buttons!

Another great game to add to my "terrible games" library. If you want to enjoy this game to its fullest, then play it on console or use a controller on PC. Otherwise, stay away if you are a PC gamer with standards!… Expand

    There is potential for Ninja Blade in its hack and slash gameplay to be a good overall action game, but poor porting to PC, unrefined and sluggish controls on mouse on keyboard, crappy and slow camera movement, in many places poor, buggy audio quality, repetative gameplay, boss battles, reused levels and broken 60 fps mode forcing to play in 30 fps break it short.

    However, somehow, the game still has its charm with its overly over the top, in a way only japanese can make it, the annoying, but honestly, really well made and looking QTE sections, the somewhat interesting plot and fun combat thats also pretty challenging at times.

    But if youre really sensitive to less than optimal console to PC ports, you might want to stay away.    … Expand

    Вначале все было хорошо, но потом... Видимо у разработчиков закончились идеи или же бюджет, по другому я не могу объяснить множественные повторы локаций и боссов

    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    Some technical troubles notwithstanding, this derivative action game is a bunch of silly, stylish fun.

    Frequent boss fights, excellent cinematics and great animation keep you glued to the screen for the first thirty minutes. Alas, oversized bugs which use the same attacks over and over, tiresome QTE sequences, useless combos and weapon upgrades will get under your skin.

    Refuse to accept a game with such little creative effort put into it and vote with your wallets. [Feb 2010, p.79]
