    Arashi Gaiden is a unique experience that blends tactical puzzles with ninja action, delivering clever challenges and a charming retro-style visual presentation. When it works, the game shines by rewarding strategic planning and precise execution, creating genuinely satisfying moments. However, technical issues, lack of polish, and clarity in certain mechanics prevent it from reaching its true potential.

    The core puzzle gameplay is enjoyable, but subsequent changes don't necessarily improve the overall experience. Plus, on the Nintendo Switch, I encountered bugs that forced me to replay the entire act—dozens of levels.
