    With manageable levels that feels like a puzzle themselves, simplistic gameplay, and challenges that will attract dedicated players, Ninja Senki DX is a pretty well rounded package for such a small price tag.

    Ninja Senki DX is solid on its basic gameplay mechanics and definitively is a good and challenging retro game. It is not the best Tribute Games title but at least have new challenges that perfectly cover its cheap price.

    The levels are challenging without being overly frustrating and the music is charismatic. Fans of the retro 8-bit games will enjoy Ninja Senki DX.

    Ninja Senki DX reads like an old codger's take on modern literature and walks like a decrepit schoolgirl gallivanting her way to her first tax return and, fittingly so, her first heart attack. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Tribute Games made garbage.

    There is fun to be had with Ninja Senki DX and the inclusion of additional game modes adds a lot of replay value for those who enjoy it. However due to the repetitive nature it’s a game I can only really enjoy in short bursts.

    As you’d expect the gameplay is relatively simple and, apart from moving left and right, just two buttons are used for jumping and shooting. This in itself wouldn’t be a problem if the game didn’t also bring back many other retro elements best left in the past. Enemies leaping and hitting you from offscreen, the trial and error nature of many sections, severe difficultly spikes, sparse checkpoints etc may all be in keeping with the games aesthetic but in 2018 it just makes for a frustrating experience and will only really appeal to the most hardcore of old school platformer fan.    … Full Review »

Excellent, responsive controls and a brutal hardcore challenge make up for some middling and occasionally unfair level design. You might get frustrated, but it measures your skills fairly. The soundtrack is really good, too!… Full Review »
