    Imitation is not always the sincerest form of flattery. There are two sayings that come to mind when I think about Ninja Blade. Read more

    • + Some cool boss fights, + Good Ideas...
    • ...Bad Execution, Too many QuickTime Events

    "Ninja Blade" is a hard game to recommend based on the number of faults it possesses although if you are prepared to look beyond these then contained within a pretty good game with some very impressive graphics. Read more

    • Frantic action, Excellent graphics, Staggeringly good boss characters, Offers a challenge and enjoyment in equal measures
    • Far too many quick time events, Lack of mid level save option, Very difficult in places, Linear level design

    It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; if this is true then God of War and Ninja Gaiden must be red from blushing. Read more

    Ninja Blade is nowhere near as accomplished as the genre's heavyweights, but anyone able to see it as the roller-coaster ride it is should have a great time. Read more

    • A real roller-coaster, Immensely fun
    • Some drab locations, QTEs will put off some players

    With all the talk of gameplay mechanics, artistic value and advancing the medium that we do here at this site, I think it's important to note that works of quality can come in many forms. Read more

    • Nailing a brutal Todomé finisher without missing an input.
    • Level 7 is pointless filler that interrupts dramatic flow.

  1. It's EXCITING! (Unless you hate QTE)

    Many people are harsh to this game because they are expecting a Ninja Gaiden clone. Well, sort of, but not really, its like a game made up of blending a few other games together. Read more

  2. pure action, start to finish

    the reason i gave this a 4 and not a 5 is the over use of the button sequence. it dose not damper game play,it is just used to much in my opinion. Read more

    • this game bring action from the start and dose not stop. the controls work great and the game look great also. the game is like a cross between gow, ninja gieden and prince of persia, it sounds like a lot but it makes for ...
    • the game uses timed button sequence thru-out the game, a little to much for my taste but it dose add a nice change when its used though the cut scenes.

  3. Ninja Blade is silly but kinda fun

    Ninja Blade is an action hack 'n' slash game by From Software (who also did Demon's Souls and 3D Dot Game Heroes). It follows a ninja as he fights against an invasion of parasitic worms. Read more

    • Decent overall, looks ok, silly QTEs make you laugh
    • Repetitive gameplay, last level outstays its welcome

    Just have fun with it! We have all played worse! Read more

    • Graphics are to die for!
    • The game could be alittle deeper

    A decent way to spend a rainy day for someone who enjoyed Ninja Gaiden 2, but iit's fairly generic Read more

    • All around a solid action game
    • While it's a good way to pass some time, it's not great. Those damn QTEs
