    Each Tengo Project release is a handcrafted monument to a type of experience and particular strain of gaming culture that is mostly forgotten by the mainstream. This is not “Retro Gaming” as marketed to us for the last 20 years, but a type of design that fully embodies the specific, timeless, vibrant virtues of the ’80s and ’90s in new and exciting forms. Reborn is for sickos, by sickos. For those that have love in their heart for arcade culture, and for muscular, uncompromising, full-blooded action built on a system of beautifully-tuned mechanics, Shadow of the Ninja: Reborn will be one of the best things they can buy this year.

    Shadow of the Ninja Reborn is a game crafted by Japanese artisans who really love their job. A very good memory of what gaming was all about 30 years ago, which also happens to play as smoothly as it looks.

    Skillfully, Shadow of the Ninja Reborn captures the essence of its source material. Scrambling and striking foes across the game’s six stages captures the feel of yesteryear’s celebrated action-platformers. Meanwhile, improvements to visuals, enemy behaviors, and Mizutani’s soundtrack ensure these ninjas don’t feel obsolete.

    Shadow of the Ninja: Reborn is sure to please fans of beat 'em ups and platformers from the 90s. However, some drawbacks like limited control scheme, short campaign and certain repetitiveness of battles may scare away other players. Therefore, the project may be of interest primarily to those who are already familiar with the original.
