Old school Ninja Awesomeness!!!
If you enjoy old school 2-D Shinobi or Ninja Gaiden games, you will enjoy this game as well. The controls are nicely tuned. I found it gets a bit difficult (that could be just my reflexes slowing down as well lol). It has really nice 2-D pixel graphics. The music is pretty good as well. Well worth picking up.

A hidden gem!
Bought this for a friend who has a YouTube channel called Rockinkatreviews. He absolutely loves the game and really respects the music platforming and nostalgic feeling.

Classic Style, Modern Flare.
One of the best Indy games of the last decade. Incredible 8 and 16-bit graphics. Amazing soundtrack. Funny story. If you loved Ninja Gaiden on the NES this is for you.
