    Fun but shallow hack'n'slash riddled with gamebreaking bugs. I love the graphics and linear gameplay which is straight out of a twisted comic book, it's really relaxing. However my whole experience was ruined by a bug which erased all of my perks and upgrades, forcing me to quit or start over after 5 hours.

    There are few times where Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z manages to induce positive emotions to the player. Perhaps only in the initial stages, when you do not know what you are going to face, the relatively good cel-shaded graphics or the sometimes nicely done humor. Only for hack 'n' slash fans that check frequently the bargain bin.

    With the amount of great action games on the market there is simply no reason that you should give Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z a try. It is a shoddily made, awful mess.

    Yaiba is weird. It’s dumb, insanely frustrating and to be honest, kind of insulting. However, regrettably, it’s also a bit fun.
