Games Asylum: "Back in 2019, Tengo Project successfully revived the 1994 SNES scrolling brawler The Ninja Warriors. Action platformer Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn is their latest project, this time taking us back to 1990 and the humble NES. Upon release, the original Shadow of the Ninja was praised for its fluid gameplay and simultaneous two-player mode. A Game Boy version was even rebranded as a Ninja Gaiden spin-off after catching the eye of Tecmo. This revival has visuals closer resembling a 2D game from the 32-bit era and many of its ideas have been expanded upon. So, while its history can be traced back to the 8-bit era, you may be pushed hard to tell."
"The original Shadow of the Ninja (Dark Operative Kage in Japan) is a cult classic NES game from Natsume. Over 30 years later, Natsume Atari’s Tengo Project team and ININ Games have unleashed a full remake onto modern consoles and Steam called Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn. A full remake in every sense of the word, Reborn features astounding pixel art, a new item unlocking system, and the return of 2-player local co-op support. Unfortunately, a punishing level of difficulty limits the appeal of the new game," says Co-Optimus.
Up for a challenge? How about a unforgiving platformer that is a remaster of a great classic game. Shadow of the Ninja Reborn is ready to challenge all gamers. The game looks and plays great but is it too hard? How is the co-op? Erik from The Gamers Lounge has spent some time trying to master it. Are you ready?
Review - Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn is a remaster done right. It takes what was a great game, and drags it kicking and screaming into the modern era
