Ninja Blade
Description
Ninja Blade is set within modern day Tokyo, where parasites known as alpha-worms have mysteriously appeared, unleashing a wave of human destruction as they rapidly spread east, reaching the shores of Tokyo. With the future of humankind hanging in the balance, an exclusive and elite team possessing highly specialized skills is formed to eliminate the enemy onslaught, and ultimately save mankind from complete obliteration.
To help defeat the genetically mutated monsters, players will have the special abilities of "Ninja Vision" and "Todome" at their fingertips. Enabling "Ninja Vision" will allow players to detect and analyze potential enemy weak points, secret paths, and hidden information within the environment. Beware though, while using "Ninja Vision", characters become susceptible to excess damage. "Todome" is a special attack that destroys an enemy characterï's core (heart), by dealing a fatal wound. Balanced and calculated use of both these abilities will be critical to progressing through the game.
A variety of weapons, tools and 'Ninjutsu' specialized Ninja powers offer an enticing array of options. Varied environments force players to think strategically about which set of weapons and tools will be most effective at conquering their way through different levels. Everything from dual wielding swords to huge great swords each have distinctive features and characteristics, so choose wisely! 'Ninjutsu' is a special power that results in an explosive electrical force to either stun enemies or protect oneself from attack. Only true Ninja Masters can achieve this technique. Interactive Quick Time Eevents - Scattered throughout integral parts of the storyline, characters will come across various quick-time events where players will have the opportunity to directly interact with in-game cut-scenes. Quick reflexes will be rewarded as players interact with controller buttons as directed on screen during intense battles.
Ninja Blade offers a fresh twist to the classic ninja saga by basing all 3D gaming maps directly from the actual skyscrapers and building tops in modern day Tokyo.

meiji | Nov. 20, 2011 | See all meiji's reviews »Ninja's? awesome. Fantastic graphics, Best of the best gameplay, great story, astounding music. HELL YES! Seeing as there are very few games with gameplay like this. it's already unique with that itself. a cheap price with more fun than a majority of games. Play as Ken, do all your crazy ninja techniques, obtain new spells and weapons, and have fun with crazy boss fights. If you love games such as Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Onimusha, you HAVE to give it a chance.

Enjoyable, rare hack and slash for the PC
t20k | Aug. 9, 2011 | See all t20k's reviews »There are lots of flaws about this game, but the result is still very enjoyable. It looks great and is fun to play. QTEs are annoying, but the sequences presented in them are actually ridiculously great. If you have a Xbox 360 controller connected to your computer you might as well pick up this game on a sale. I don't recommend playing it with a keyboard.

hotmando1 | July 5, 2011 | See all hotmando1's reviews »Yet another poorly done port from console to pc. There is a LOT of focus on pressing the correct button combo just like God of War for executions. It's done very nicely in a movie-like way in both gameplay and graphics. The plot is pretty weak though, not very enticing to people who have already played games such as Dragon Age. The game requires you to button smash the same button about a couple hundred times before killing a boss. By the time your done the game, your keyboard/controller might as well be dead. AI is not the best, sometimes it'll just stand there. Weapons are a given, but a small selection. For a single player game, it's pretty short. It's lacking on multiplayer. Good buy on sales.

Nice!
Muzicjohn | June 21, 2011 | See all Muzicjohn's reviews »Effective graphics and epic fights! Reflex required! This is a bit s-f game, because, for example, you'll have to stop plain with your own hands, but if you like mood like this, you will enjoy it! I had lot of fun and I recommend it!

Slashing fun.
xtrench | April 15, 2011 | See all xtrench's reviews »Not right there with the more popular titles in that genre but still fun to play, only suffering from excessive quick time events that makes you wish you were actually doing those things instead of mashing buttons. With the backdrop of infection spreading throughout Tokyo it's up to you to cure it with your ninja blade and by cure I mean violently eradicate. With three different, two ranged attacks and one ninja vision you're in for some bloody fun.
