Sep 3, 2024I really hope this game gets its rough spots patched out because if you can look past its fussy controls and noticeable input lag, you’ll find Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn to be an otherwise razor-sharp remake from the team at Tengo Project. With its pixel-perfect presentation, meaty challenge, and excellent couch co-op that lets you and a friend take on the forces of evil simultaneously, it deserves your attention, even if there’s currently room for improvement.

Aug 29, 2024Shadow of the Ninja: Reborn is a good remake that reinvents the original game beautifully, without losing the spirit of the 8 and 16-bit futuristic ninja games. However, this also means that the stiff controls and the difficulty level may be an obstacle for some gamers, making it more appealing for those who like to replay the levels to learn, gradually mastering the game until they can finish its six stages.

Aug 29, 2024Shadow of the Ninja Reborn is a worthy addition to the collection of any arcade or retro enthusiast. Even more than three decades later, mobility techniques and ninja gear combine to make it a compelling game, provided you're up to the challenge.

Sep 12, 2024Considering that currently, less than half of players beat level 1, you know that Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn is one brutal game.

Aug 29, 2024Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn looks the part, this is a sumptuous 2D scroller that clearly loves the 1990s with unabashed and borderline obsessional desire. It effectively emulates the experience of playing a game from that era too. The problem is that includes dodgy controls, plentiful gameplay frustrations and difficulty spikes so sharp they’d make a 42-year-old man cry. And they did.
