    It's not the longest game, but it is a wild and entertaining ride while it lasts.

    A fantastic spin-off entry to the main series, packed with great combat and stunning visuals.

    Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z isn’t the best NG game on the market, but I honestly enjoyed it a lot even with its flaws.
