Join me as I dive into Shadow of the Ninja Reborn on the Nintendo Switch—a retro-styled action platformer that immediately caught my eye with its stunning visuals reminiscent of classics like Metal Slug. In this first impressions review, I explore how the game's rich art style and detailed animations elevate the experience, while also discussing the challenges posed by its less intuitive controls and unforgiving platforming mechanics.
While the game offers multi-directional combat and a variety of moves that add depth to the gameplay, some mechanics like wall jumping and air spinning can feel more like happy accidents than mastered skills. The time limit in each level adds an arcade-like urgency that might not appeal to everyone, especially when you want to soak in the beautifully crafted environments.
