Oct 17, 2025This is how you bring a classic back to life! Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is exactly the kind of game an iconic name like Joe Musashi deserves, and Lizardcube has delivered a masterclass in how to modernize old classics. With its action, platforming sequences, visuals, music, and gameplay details - in short, with everything - it’s an outstanding title.

Oct 15, 2025There's a few missed strokes to be found in Art of Vengeance if you're looking really close, but Lizardcube still paints an amazing canvas. Using a smart segmentation and exploring its features to shed light above the beautiful graphics, the game sits beside Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound as another great ninja-themed side-scroller released in 2025.

Oct 2, 2025While the combos and the Shinobi Execution special attack may not be particularly unique, Shinobi's battle system is well crafted and delivers a strong sense of exhilaration. The consistently challenging level design and boss fights expand the classical appeal of 2D action into a modern context, offering something fresh for players tired of Soulslikes and Metroidvanias. That said, the story and worldbuilding remain stuck in the kind of B-grade sensibility often found in retro games, leaving something to be desired by the standards of contemporary videogames.
