Ninja Gaiden 4 was perhaps the standout announcement from the Xbox Developer_Direct, and it’s out later this year with its teams currently in the polishing phase.
While the gameplay fit the high-speed standard that defined the series, there’s plenty of new features to look forward to. Along with sticking to the dark atmosphere that defined the series, Tokyo presents some stressfull scenarios.
With the miasma rain causing significant destruction, you run into collapsing buildings while grinding on rails as newcomer Yakumo.
Exploration yields hidden items, challenges, and more, so its worth going off the beaten path. Fiends and other enemies return alongside 1v1 battles with enemies that can block your attacks.
Searching for the right moment to attack is important, but Yakumo’s skills truly shine when fighting crowds. While he has the Raven Style, the Bloodraven Form is perhaps the most intriguing element.
