Defunct Games reviews Shadow of the Ninja: Reborn, available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Switch and PC.
Three decades after it first hit the Nintendo Entertainment System, Shadow of the Ninja has been Reborn for a whole new generation. This is a complete reimagining of the original, featuring revised level designs, upgraded boss battles, brand-new moves and abilities, and more than fifty items to play around with. This is a bigger and better-looking experience that does an excellent job of honoring what was good about the 8-bit classic. Unfortunately, the gameplay isn’t as precise as it should be and it’s surprisingly frustrating cycling through the items. It’s not as iconic as the 1990 original, but Shadow of the Ninja: Reborn is still worth picking up, no matter if you’re a long-time fan or somebody new to the series.
