GameShark: Ninja Blade Preview

Ninja Blade has you wielding the weapons of a stealthy warrior to defeat a legion of demonic forces. The arrival of alpha worms (enormous earthworms that burrow beneath the streets of Tokyo) has thrown the city into obvious chaos and it's your job to set things right using a range of blades and ninja abilities. In many respects, it resembles Ninja Gaiden: an unrelenting focus on over-the-top action, quick-paced combat, and slick graphics. Panache is something absent from this spin on the genre, but an effort is being made to tailor the experience to a wider audience with a gentler difficulty curve and interactive quick-time events that set it apart from its sadistically difficult inspiration.

Well aren't you cool? Taking a game that was pretty much universally acclaimed and then saying that one that received mediocre to bad reviews across the board is better... There's always one "hipster" out there with a contrarian opinion.

I don’t remember much of it but wasn’t it a QTE heavy game like Asura’s Wrath and GOW3?

NecrumOddBoy2220d ago (Edited 2220d ago )

It was like the Xbox Ninja Gaiden with an insane amount of QTEs. Not bad but not innovative.

SamPao2220d ago

Asura's Wrath and GOW3s QTE usage are planets apart though :D

Youngindy212220d ago

Both of those games were good so....

The Adventures of Cookie and Cream (Or Kuri Kuri Mix as is known in PAL territories) is actually a pretty good game, and gets damn hard in the latter stages.

I'd love to see FromSoft make King's Field 5, or maybe another Armoured Core. I love the Souls games, but I don't want to see it milked for all its worth.

Duke193312d ago

Didn't they also make the 3D Dot Game Heroes (or something like that).

I actually enjoyed that a lot on PS3

eyoung253312d ago

They actually only handled publishing in Japan. It was developed by Silicon Studio.

I wanted to keep the entries to their own respective genres. Chromehounds and Armored Core are both mecha. I almost included it though.

I came here to learn something new and left disappointed.

DarXyde3312d ago

...I'm saying I knew FromSoft had a hand in all of these games. I would know, I own/ed most of them.

WhyWai883311d ago

Armored Core series producer left From Software.
My guess is the company shifted all focus to Souls series... :(
RIP Armored Core....

eyoung253311d ago

I would love to see them come out with a new IP in the mecha genre. Armored Core was cool, but I think they have expanded their skills to make a more unique game.
