How it feels

A relentless arcade gauntlet where you dodge traps and fight ninjas in brief, replayable bursts, driven by 80s anime visuals and laser-disc-era scene transitions.

What players say

This 1984 laserdisc game is a very short experience of quick-time events, completed in under three hours and even less with continuing. Players say the controls are more forgiving than similar games but complain about the lack of vsync and bonus features, and many find the price too high for the content.
