The music in the game is widely praised for its energetic and nostalgic 80s arcade vibe, enhancing the overall experience of the retro-style beat 'em up gameplay. Players appreciate the diverse soundtracks that accompany different characters and modes, contributing to the game's replayability and co-op features. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout element that complements the game's aesthetic and mechanics.
“Choice of 3 characters each with their own skill set and a banging soundtrack to accompany your journey.”
“Nostalgic beat'em up action, new characters and soundtrack, timed trials and a leaderboard may keep you playing.”
“Awesome 80s style arcade soundtrack, five ninjas with unique moves, two of which are brand new, updated 2D graphics, online ranking and co-op boost the longevity.”
“The soundtrack is repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged during longer play sessions.”
“While the game has a nostalgic feel, the music doesn't quite capture the essence of the retro style it aims for.”
“The remixed music feels uninspired and doesn't add much to the overall experience, leaving it feeling flat.”
The Ninja Saviors: Return Of The Warriors (Nintendo Switch)
It’s a solid beat-em-up with solid gameplay that brings back some of the fun of the arcade classics like Double Dragon and Final Fight. But once you beat it, unless you absolutely have to have the best leaderboard score, you’ll hardly touch it again. If you love old school games as I do, this game isn’t a complete waste of cash for the price. The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors isn’t a bad game, just not a great one.

The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors is a bit light on content, but what is here is a worthy follow-up to the side-scrolling cult classic. Those that don’t mind a short runtime will have a great time minmaxing the Battery Gauge to cause massive damage.

Altogether, Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors is an exemplary update to the 1994 original. Both the new and returning characters have impressive move-sets. Discovering how to implement these techniques is very rewarding. The eight stages aren't especially creative, but they all have strong fundamentals. If players want a spot on the online leaderboards, then they have to take as little damage as possible, and accurately gauge threats. While it is fun to mash on hapless grunts, targeting elites is the only way to survive. This is one beat em' up gem that you don't want to miss.
