Shinobi Walkthrough Part 6 - PS2 - 2002 - 4-B Moth Boss From Hell!
17Shinobi Walkthrough Part 6 - PS2 - 2002 - 4-B Moth Boss From Hell!
Shiniobi PS2 is a cool little game from Sega that serves as a reboot of the Sega Genesis franchise. Revenge of Shinobi is one of my childhood fave video games, so I had to try this 2002 reboot out. And while it looks a little muddy with a dorky story, there is fun to be had here. I enjoy the hack 'n slash gameplay, and the teleporting is never dull. Seeing the blue outline of where I was as I quickly speed run round the back of the enemy gets the blood bumping.
Shinobi 2002 is a blind playthrough, though I have heard this game is pretty difficult, and its lack of checkpoints may be a reason why. I don't think it'll stomp me into dirt like Revenge Of Shinobi, but we'll see how things turn out before the credits role.
More on the game;
Shinobi is a 3D action-adventure game viewed from a third-person perspective. The player guides protagonist Hotsuma through eight levels that each consist of two sections and a boss battle. Gameplay consists of quickly moving through levels and killing enemies. The game does not feature checkpoints, but allows the player to continue from the start of a boss battle should they die.
Combat is hack and slash-based, involving large numbers of recurring enemies. Hotsuma's sword, Akujiki, is his primary weapon. Akujiki feeds on souls, initially devouring those of the enemies he kills, then that of Hotsuma himself if he does not kill any enemies for too long. This leads to an emphasis on killing all enemies in a battle as quickly as possible. To ensure that Akujiki's hunger remains sated, Hotsuma can kill four or more enemies with no more than a few seconds between each kill to perform an exaggeratedly violent "TATE" attack that will release more souls for Akujiki. The mechanic of jumping from enemies after dispatching them adds an element of platform gameplay.
Hotsuma can also use shurikens to briefly paralyze his enemies. Three types of ninja magic are available to him: "Ka'en", an area-based fire attack; "Kamaitachi", a ranged shock wave attack; and "Raijin", which grants him invincibility for a short period of time.
