    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    14% positive mentions, 43% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of substance, with many players noting that it feels non-existent or repetitive, merely serving as a backdrop for gameplay rather than a compelling narrative. Overall, the absence of a meaningful plot detracts from the overall experience, leaving players feeling unengaged.

    • “The story is pretty much the same as well, just a different cut scene.”
    • “No story.”
    • “Everything is bad in this game, the plot - there is none.”

  • graphics

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in "Revenge of the Shadow Ninja" are described as passable but ultimately disappointing, with a style reminiscent of Microsoft's Limbo that lacks depth and satisfaction. While the game shows promise, its visuals do not meet the expectations for a compelling gaming experience, overshadowed by bugs and subpar gameplay.

    • “And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics.”
    • “To be worth a gamer's time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here.”
    • “Revenge of the Shadow Ninja is a promising-looking but ultimately very buggy 2D platformer/brawler that rips off the art style from Microsoft's Limbo, except it's a bit more ninja-ish.”
    • “The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better.”

  • gameplay

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by fun, motion-driven mechanics and easy-to-use controls, providing an immersive experience reminiscent of a fantasy ninja setting. However, some players feel that the game lacks the depth and pacing needed for top-tier gameplay, suggesting longer missions with checkpoints could enhance the overall experience. While the visuals and creative levels are praised, the gameplay itself does not fully meet the high expectations set by its aesthetic qualities.

    • “It has a lot of beautiful art, good background music, many cool effects, creative levels, fun motion-driven gameplay, perfect PC performance, and immerses you into the position of a fantasy shadow-fight style ninja!”
    • “Maybe less but longer missions with something like a midway checkpoint (like in New Super Mario Bros 1) could provide a better pacing and more room for slightly more fluent gameplay.”
    • “The controls are easy to use and game mechanics work really well.”
    • “Maybe fewer but longer missions with something like a midway checkpoint (like in New Super Mario Bros. 1) could provide better pacing and more room for slightly more fluid gameplay.”
    • “It's just gameplay.”

  • music

    The music in the game is praised for its quality and ability to enhance the immersive experience, complementing the beautiful art and creative gameplay. However, players express a desire for a sound options menu to adjust individual volume levels for music and sound effects, allowing for a more personalized audio experience. Overall, the soundtrack is well-received, contributing positively to the game's atmosphere.

    • “Music is good and the animations and environments are incredibly well made and executed.”
    • “I do like it as I love this style of game quite a lot, and I like the music.”
    • “It has a lot of beautiful art, good background music, many cool effects, creative levels, fun motion-driven gameplay, perfect PC performance, and immerses you into the position of a fantasy shadow-fight style ninja!”
    • “A sound options menu during the missions would be wonderful too, to adjust SFX (world and player SFX maybe?) and music.”
    • “Other than that, the option to adjust individual volumes would be appreciated so I can hear the music without yelling and sound effects in my ears or blasting out speakers.”

  • stability

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    "Revenge of the Shadow Ninja" shows potential as a 2D platformer/brawler, but it suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent glitches and bugs that disrupt gameplay, particularly with the dash ability. While the game can be played smoothly at times, these technical problems detract from the overall experience.

    • “Revenge of the Shadow Ninja is a promising looking but ultimately very buggy 2D platformer/brawler ripping off the art style from Microsoft's Limbo, except a bit more ninja-ish.”
    • “The game can be played very fluently, but still here are some of the glitches/bugs I found:”
    • “It's good at its core... but it's so damn buggy.”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Players express that the grinding aspect of the game is excessively time-consuming, suggesting that it requires an unrealistic amount of effort, akin to needing a second life to complete it.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and tedious.”
    • “I spent hours grinding, and it still feels like I'm nowhere.”
