How it feels

Fast-paced retro action-platforming with old-school difficulty and a gritty ninja theme.

What players say

Players praise the authentic NES aesthetic and soundtrack but are split on the gameplay. Many call it frustrating and unfair, with clunky controls and cheap deaths that rely on memorization. It is short, around 90 minutes, but some find that length a poor excuse for its punishing design.
