"In Nikujin you play a ninja, who’s goal is to progress through a ninja fortress of increasing difficulty, utilising your ninja skills to ensure your survival. There’s no real tutorial to the game, so to run through quickly, the arrow keys are your directional movements, Shift is jump and Ctrl is your sword attack. Now, whilst this game looks simple, especially given it’s incredibly basic style, the gameplay gets a little more complicated.

There are special tricks to the game, which you can only really learn through experimentation. For instance, holding down when landing from a height allows you to roll, so that you don’t hurt yourself. If you land on top of an enemy, pressing down will stab your sword into his head, killing him instantly. You can then jump from there to get a vertical boost, from where you can hold up to cling to the ceiling. You can also hold up to run up walls, also achievable mid-jump, or whilst clinging onto the ceiling provided you are very close to a 90 degree corner. It’s certainly easier to learn through practice, as you will meet obstacles that will push you into realizing your capabilities as a ninja. For instance, you run at a set speed, but if you walk into a wall and then immediately run the other direction you will use the force to launch into a continuous sprint gaining you a significant leaping boost. Combat takes a back seat to the platforming, it’s really just a case of slashing the enemy a few times, or killing him before he’s noticed you, indicated by the Metal Gear Solid-style icons above their head."

The game is however incredibly hard, even frustrating, but how cool it is when you've mastered the controls .

[KoKo5oVaR]

are those guys... naked?

Yes. the lightest suit for a ninja.

In real life, it's commonly believed that a nakedsuit is often followed by a lawsuit.

try that one. it's a prettty decent 2d sidescroller rpg with some interesting turns. the end boss is (as always with japanese games) fucking hard, but other than that, it's a brilliant game (thumbs up to japan for having excessive gore).

remember the translator pack unless you speak fluent japanese

[KoKo5oVaR]

[Sentura]
