Bom jogo de acΓ§Γ£o, com uma gameplay bastante sΓ³lida.

Adoro a arte do jogo e dΓ‘ a ideia de ser metroidvania, mas Γ© bastante linear. Como negativo, achei os bosses fΓ‘ceis. A ver o que nos reserva os prΓ³ximos jogos desta revitalizaΓ§Γ£o da SEGA.

SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance (Demo) delivers a very enjoyable experience with strong combat and impressive visuals. The presentation is polished, with voice acting that supports the overall tone. While the difficulty may require some adjustment early on, the gameplay becomes highly satisfying once the mechanics are understood, leaving a strong and positive impression.

O jogo Γ© um excelente resgate do tΓ­tulo que estava inerte por muitos anos. Apesar de ser um metroidvania, com exploraΓ§Γ£o aumentada de acordo com as novas habilidades adquiridas, tem muitos mais aspectos de plataforma linear clΓ‘ssica sem precisar de complecionismo. EntΓ£o atende tanto aqueles que sΓ³ querem avanΓ§ar e derrotar os inimigos quanto aqueles que gostam de explorar a fase inteira.

A batalha Γ© fluida e competente, sendo possΓ­vel concluir apenas dominando as tΓ©cnicas e mecΓ’nicas bΓ‘sicas. Na linha principal do jogo, o desafio Γ© moderado, mas se torna bem elevado nas partes complementares, principalmente nos desafios de plataforma (alguns sΓ£o punitivos demais, mas sΓ£o possΓ­veis).

A arte Γ© sensacional. GrΓ‘ficos e trilha sonora belΓ­ssimos, cenΓ‘rios impressionantes (as vezes, parte das fases sΓ£o alguns segundos apenas correndo, dando tempo para apreciar a paisagem). Achei o contraste e brilho das cores muito bom, nΓ£o tive aquela sensaΓ§Γ£o de confusΓ£o no momento de aΓ§Γ£o e movimento e sem aquela claridade ofuscadora.

A histΓ³ria Γ© boa para esse tipo de jogo: bem direta sem muitas nuΓ’ncias ocultas, com personagens carismΓ‘ticos e excelente dublagem. Pessoalmente nΓ£o gosto da tΓ©cnica de deixar o protagonista mudo para que o jogador se veja nele, mas esse tipo de jogo nΓ£o pede uma profundidade muito grande nesse aspecto, entΓ£o Γ© algo que nΓ£o incomoda nesse contexto. EntΓ£o se prepare para os grunidos do protagonista que, de alguma forma, sΓ£o claramente interpretados pelos outros personagens.

Por fim, este jogo Γ© um tΓ­tulo indispensΓ‘vel para quem gosta do gΓͺnero. RecomendadΓ­ssimo.

Tenho que dizer que nΓ£o imaginava fazendo o 100% de Shinobi quando comecei, mas cara, esse jogo Γ© incrΓ­vel. ArtΓ­sticamente ele Γ© muito estiloso e a mecΓ’nica de exploraΓ§Γ£o no estilo Metroidvania casou muito bem com o game. Sem dΓΊvidas o que brilha nesse jogo Γ© o combate

 

Joguem com forΓ§a!

Fantastic action game! Very tempted to double dip for the platinum trophy. Played it on the Switch 2 and it ran great.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is an amazing sequel too a Sega legacy series. This game is a shinobi game through and through but with unlockables and large maps ala "metroidvania". The story here is solid with full voice acting and fun characters. Musically the soundtrack is by Tee Lopes and Yuzo Koshiro and there is not a dull song present. Game-play wise this game is mostly tight fast paced shinobi fun but can be hampered down by a few buggy moments here and there. The map on my play through was also bugged where it wouldnbt show my location on maps aftewr entering one of the optional portal levels. Other than that you have your usual game play with new additions of upgrades, special attacks and finishers. enemies also have a bar that builds that you can link them together for a cool combo and extra health/money. Graphically this game is gorgeous with hand-drawn visuals and some pretty neat looking effects here and there. Overall I enjoyed this game a lot and I think it's a great game to add to the legendary series! Absolutely worth a play!

I don't usually play or even like metroidvanias, but this one is good. I wish they can revive the Shinobi series again, make it like Ninja Gaiden or DMC. That would very cool. Still very decent game.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a refreshing throwback to the side scrollers of old, enchanced through gorgeous hand drawn artwork, a good variety of levels, indepth combat, memorable boss encounters, and challenging platforming sections.

 

Rudimentary at first, the game blossoms with each new skill acquired, evolving and growing to extend its reach, expecting the player to rise up to meet and surpass the challenges on offer. I haven't faced such fiendishly difficult platforming in some time, the demand for pixel perfect execution pallpable as one wrong move or mis-step can spell disaster. The elation of besting such sections though (some of which are entirely optional), is incredibly gratifying once surpassed.

 

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance joins Streets of Rage 4, as another brilliant example of developer Lizardcube's ability, to use modern game design, to enchance the old school classics of the 16-bit era.

Joguei muito na minha infΓ’ncia o Shinobi 2, e o novo jogo inteiro me transportou para o passado com uma dose enorme de evoluΓ§Γ£o!!
