Ninja Girl and the Mysterious Army of Urban Legend Monsters! ~Hunt of the Headless Horseman~
There is good and bad with this V/N.
Pros:
God tier art quality! The characters are absolutely gorgeous, and leave you craving more. It almost makes it unbelievable, because 2 of the girls are supposed to be hardened ninjas, trained from birth to push their bodies beyond their limits, and to expect death at any time. Yet they look like perfect china dolls, with no scars, perfect skin and hair, and still have their teenage innocence. Obviously not realistic. At least the perfect appearance of the 3rd girl who isn’t a ninja can be explained.

Jonah Weingarten’s Ninja Brigade
The Story
Musician Jonah Weingarten wanders the streets at night after a show. An arcade hall catches his eye and he decides to stop there. The arcade station Ninja Brigade captures his attention. But suddenly he is drawn into the arcade station by insert any reasonable science fiction term. Now he is the main character himself and tries to finish the game to return to his world.
The World
The world of Ninja Brigade is set in ancient Japan and features various places. Among them, the castle and landscape of the Edo-jō, a dark cave that has fallen into oblivion, a sinister graveyard forest that turns into a mountain plagued by winds, and even hell itself (in which the final boss could possibly be placed).
Onification
The special thing about Ninja Brigade is the onification of the world. Onification is the infection with demonic energy, causing the world and its population to become unbalanced and even more savage. However, Jonah can use this energy to unleash his inner Oni.
Skills
Jonah Weingarten’s Ninja Brigade is a 2D action platformer in the style of a Metroidvania. Jonah can learn new abilities during his adventure to be able to face the dangers he is confronted with. These include not only the insidious world itself, but also its inhabitants, the Yokai.
Combat
The world of Ninja Brigade is home to a wide variety of Yokai. To defeat them in action-oriented battles, Jonah uses both the speed and agility of a ninja and the strength and brutality of an oni.
Bosses
Each region is guarded by the largest and most vicious Yokai. Defeat this one to advance and steal some of its power. But be careful, always be on your guard and don’t get distracted by their various features (the ones related to combat).

Shadow of the Road
Will you choose a disgraced ronin who’s lost his purpose in life, but finds hope in the most unexpected of places? Or perhaps a lost boy, destined to control the lives of many? An avatar of death who lives for love? You will find yourself in all these roles, and more.
The Boshin War is tearing Japan apart as the forces of the Emperor and the Shogunate clash in endless battles of attrition. Neither side will yield, neither will surrender, because they fight for something much more important than land or power – a place in history and the future of the Empire.
This turn-based tactical RPG places you in Japan at the bitter and bloody end of the feudal era. Your enemies are many, from implacable samurai to bizarre yokai from the Ne-no-kuni realm to the relentless steampunk mercenaries of the East Nippon Company, a British trade conglomerate with dubious intentions. Your decisions will directly shape the outcome of the story – stay true to your principles or choose the path of betrayal. Haunt or be haunted. Dispel the encroaching shadows by sword, gun, or spellcraft, or let them consume you. The choice is yours – it always has been, even if you cannot comprehend it yet.
MAIN CHARACTER? NO – A TEAM OF MAIN CHARACTERS
Take on the role of a master strategist and become an entire team of characters with a variety of backgrounds and skills, each with their own motivations, desires, and fears… and set them on the path that best serves you.
DIFFERENT ROADS, DIFFERENT OUTCOMES
In combat and on the road, your every choice will push your characters onto different paths. Your decisions determine who they become and whether they will build new bonds, abandon lifelong friendships or rebuild family ties.
STORY STRATEGIST, COMBAT TACTICIAN
The complex web of your team members’ goals and relationships also influences their battles. Prove that you can take advantage of the strengths – and weaknesses – of your team, for if you fail, your allies will not survive to see the end of the tale.
SHADOW OF THE ROAD
Only one thing is certain: every road you take will cast a shadow upon the lives of many. Choose wisely and discover what lies at the end of your own unique path.

Evil Shogun
Finished in less than an hour. Too short for this price. Dialogs are lame and the story is underwhelming. Puzzles take 3-4 seconds to complete.

Swords of Gurrah
Alright so there’s a popular review here that’s got like 100 people marking it as helpful, that review was posted around 5 months ago and the game has changed a lot since then, I’m just going to go point by point on their list of issues with the game to show how it’s changed since then.
Issue 1:
“The worse connection someone has, the less frames they have while fighting. This results in some people feeling unfair to go against given their moves are incredibly hard to read for being as laggy as they are.”

TL;DR Best multi[player melee combat for VR yet. Real combat techniques produce real results.
I’m an armored combat fighter and weapons instructor for multiple historical and athletic groups, so I love me some hand to hand combat. I want to fight more often than I have meetings or events, so I like to dig around in VR for good fighting games. So far the only game that got close to scratching that itch in VR was Blade & Sorcery, which while fantastic is single player. This game handles completely differently from B&S but brings the most fun multiplayer that I’ve seen yet.

Way of the Samurai 3
I love the Way of the Samurai franchise, but i think WoTS 3 is the worst game in the series for several reasons.
- Bad Stuff -
1. The job system is one of the most frustrating systems i’ve ever encountered in gaming. I cannot stress how bad this mechanic is - it will be a deal breaker for many players. Most of the job quest involve extreme tedium - for example like finding 3 missing kids (no map markers, can take 10-20 until you memorize the locations), pushing an old lady to the toilet without staggering her, and following npcs around for +5m sometimes till they meow so you can identify them as a robber. Many of the quests involve “finding a person who is hiding” and they can be in crazy places like on the roof, in a tree, or in a patch of ivy you are trying to search at night. Worse, the jobs take place in the same few locations - so you are stuck searching the same few zones over and over again with little variation. Why do these tedious jobs? Well job quests are essential to gain money, collect certain swords, and gain faction rep for certain endings. Finally, to finish a quest and ask for a new quest, you need to submit the quest, walk to leave the zone, get a loading screen, then return to the zone, get a loading screen, then go back to the quest giver to get a new job. Overall, i feel like this game completely disrespects your time with pointless tedium. You aren’t a samurai, you are playing where’s waldo for most of the game.

–skin swaps for said character customization (can play as any NPC in the game)
–Story and character interactions are highly enjoyable
–replay value for days
CONS:
–dated graphics
–movement in and out of battle has probably not aged that well (shouldn’t be that much of a problem though)
