Our Take

If you're a fan of the Shinobi series or love hand-drawn 2D games, it's worth checking out. At $29.99, it's a decent price for a Switch 2 exclusive.

Review

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance marks the return of the iconic series with a fresh hand-drawn art style from Lizardcube. You take on the role of Joe Musashi, navigating through levels filled with action as you pursue vengeance. The game carries the legacy of classic Shinobi, reminiscent of Streets of Rage 4's visual flair. However, there's not much known about the gameplay mechanics beyond the basic premise. Without a Metacritic score, it's difficult to gauge public reception, but the user rating seems moderately positive.
