    Shadow Gangs is a great game for Shinobi fans, although not so interesting if you’re not. It’s incredibly similar to Sega’s game, so it can be a good alternative if you miss those 80-90’s action games.

    Une plongée nostalgique dans les vrais jeux de plateforme qui demandent une dextérité et une technique de jeu contre toute épreuve.
    Des niveaux variés, des musiques qui collent parfaitement à l'action nerveuse du jeu.
    Gameplay bien calibré pour un plaisir jouissif en mode Crimson Ninja pour les expérimentés des jeux 2D et aussi accessible aux tout venants.
    Excellent!    … Full Review »

    It's been ages since a real Shinobi-like was in the spotlight. All fans of that favorite franchise that premiered as a side-scrolling arcadeIt's been ages since a real Shinobi-like was in the spotlight. All fans of that favorite franchise that premiered as a side-scrolling arcade title back in 1987 has finally seen it reborn anew better than before with Shadow Gangs!
    This is more than a resurrection, it’s a bundle of joy and a constant flow of rewarding game moments. Fans like me of the original games are no doubt enjoy seeing the series resurrected for the better by this game.
    Kudos to the admirable five yearlong effort of developer JKM corp, which ultimately made an astounding package resurrecting this long-dead gameplay that Shinobi perfected from its predecessor rolling thunder by Namco.
    I played first as rising ninja, it gave me a few hits before death and reached the second level with rushing bikers and lombo drivers! At that moment I knew I should restart the game under ninja or crimson ninja difficulty. This game is to be enjoyed granularity, death after death, meter after meter to really appreciate all of it, and it’s more than worth it! Every new level or encounter is a reward for your hard efforts and a forgotten frustration to push a little further to the next amazement.
    Under ninja and crimson ninja difficulty, think dark souls but shinobi-style. And I feel it’s how it should be played!
    Time to reach Act2!… :-D    … Full Review »

    Superb hand drawn sprites in high resolution mode.
    Fantastic multi parallax HD backgrounds. (Forest level is amazing).
    One of the greatest ever video game music.
    Extremely addictive gameplay, fast and furious action.
    Amazing enemy AI, each with unique and sometimes surprising actions.

    What was really missing was continues, but the developers added this feature now in the 2.02 version.

    Conclusion:
    Don't miss, there is nothing like it, and likely will never be anything like it. An incredibly unique gaming experience.    … Full Review »
