As you progress through the game, you’ll have the opportunity to unlock a myriad of tools and abilities to further augment your already sweet toolset. Most enjoyable from his basic moveset is the grappling hook, which can be used to zip to higher ground, or rapel Spider-Man style. Throwing smoke bombs will help you get the drop on some unsuspecting foes or vanish from a tight spot. He can also cling to walls, hang from ceilings, and hide behind objects. Your character runs and jumps like Ryu Hayabusa did in the 80s. Marrying concepts from the NES Ninja Gaiden games with the Arkham series of Batman titles, it’s also one of the coolest games I’ve played in 2012.Īssuming the role of a stealthy ninja is a joy thanks to the myriad of movement, and attack options you have at your disposal. Though it’s a stretch to classify Mark of the Ninja as a simulation, this 2D stealth platformer makes me feel more like a real ninja than any other video game I’ve played before. Recognizing that my work was done, I slip off into the darkness to continue my quest. As the insects make quick work of his flesh, his partners freak out, and accidentally shoot each other in the commotion. In an instant, a swarm of ravenous insects showers down on one of my enemies. I ask myself, “Do I want to cloud their vision with a smoke bomb, then stab each of them in the back? Or can I come up with something more clever?” Scanning my inventory, I find just the thing to liven up this party.
I could simply grapple to the adjacent rooftop to continue my mission, but my bloodlust is running high. Directly below me are three gun-toting foes who have no idea what’s coming to them. Perched atop a lamppost, I spot my targets. Thank you to the Splitkick team for the edits!)
