About the game
The story of a shinobi called 'Wolf', set in Japan at the end of the Sengoku period. Combat is all about deflecting enemy attacks with precise timing to break their Posture, then finishing them with a Deathblow. Vertical movement using the Shinobi Prosthetic tools and grappling hook is another highlight. It's a game where you have to improve your skill rather than overpower enemies by leveling up.
Why we recommend it
Deflection-based combat where blade meets blade delivers extreme tension, and the thrill when it finally clicks is unlike any other game.
Good for — Great for: anyone who wants to feel themselves improving through reflexes and learning patterns
