Following in the path of Ninja Gaiden, and wearing the Shoes of Shinobi, Shadow Gangs Delivers unforgiving Ninja Action. You are Dan, Ninja Master, and after your family is kidnapped by the Evil Shadow Gangs, you set out to crush them and save your family. Nearly a clone of Shinobi, the fans of the SEGA series will find nothing but nostalgia with this game. Shadow Gangs features hand drawn art rendered in the style of 16bit Arcade games. With a soundtrack just as kick ass as the enemies, that took five eyears to develop, the action feels seriously intense. You have to battle your way through five nails hard stages with wild bosses. The game has three difficulty modes, easy for people who didn't play Shinobi, Normal for those who did, and Hard for those who hate themselves, or are simply master savants at this style gameplay. If you are easily frustrated, or don't have wild reflexes, you should play the game on easy the first time. The game is hard, like seriously hard, and that might deter new players. You will be required to bring your Ninja reflexes, and awareness to save your family from the Shadow Gangs. Shinobi fans shouldn't pass this title up, and if you ever wondered about it, here's a chance to experience what nijas of the 90's went through!… Expand

    In the grand scheme of things, Shadow Gangs is an accomplished reimagining of a seemingly forgotten series. While its gameplay is rooted in the past, the visuals have modern-day sheen – Shadow Gangs‘ HD sprites really pop out of the screen, and the environments are both varied and detailed. It’s far from perfect, but there’s plenty here to delight any classic Shinobi fan.

    As a love letter to Shinobi, Shadow Gangs on Xbox One gets a lot right. It’s more of a remake than a spiritual sequel, but it looks the part and plays sweetly too. But as niches go, the one that Shadow Gangs wants to fill is incredibly small: we suspect that modern beat ‘em up fans will find it too wilfully unfair, while old-school brawler fans will have to overlook the complete lack of innovation
