Aragami 2
My experience with the game was very good. Finished it once in a lethal two player coop run, and then once again in a solo pacifit/stealth run. Both of my playthroughs were very relaxing and pleasant. The game world is pretty and the soundtrack is charming at times. Stealth gameplay is very solid yet not too tedious. Storytelling and dialogue is minimalistic, but it provides a good setting for the gameplay.
It is about 5 times longer than the first installment, the level design is more open and diverse, and the graphics are stylized but beautiful in their own right. It compares well to the “normal” difficulty of the original game, but I would prefer a setting to make visual and hearing perception distance of enemies greater than it is. Your character is less squishy than it was in the first game, but if you mostly play this for stealth, you will only notice when surviving a nasty fall here and there (though not always).

“…it’s built around a fantastic and incredibly fun core that is unlike anything else out there and I hope to see more DLC, or even a sequel, in the future. It hooked me pretty badly – I just couldn’t get enough. I loved waiting for my moment to strike, then pulling off the perfect execution of teleports and takedowns, only to fade back into the shadows before anybody saw, or even fixing a mistake swiftly by taking out any alerted guards with precise ferocity.”

Tale of Ninja: Fall of the Miyoshi
I like that there is a ninja game and thank you for that whoever, I think the game would be a great one to this list:
1- cursor lock(this one is a must)
2- unique animations that make feel like a ninja. I don’t want to be rude, but right now a big proportion of the animations look like mobile to me.
3-controls:
1- full controller support.
2- free controls adjustments for keyboard&mouse and controller
some people are OK with the default controls and some are not I think this would satisfy all kinds of people

Chess Knights: Shinobi
Edit: Updated playthrough with ALL the normal levels here: https://youtu.be/Zr-5X2c3k8Y
Great game but god dang is it difficult not sure if it was the alcohol or the fact my chess I.Q. is 42 but it was a fun little brain boggler killing the Generals was extremely satisfying after trying not to get spanked by some simp rooks/bishops. Not sure how to get all the achievements since I hid in a bush and didn’t get the hide in a bush achievement (got faito achievement at later date which has been included in video thanks to user carmylle on steam) but if you need help on any of the levels. my play through with all levels here: https://youtu.be/xhNwdCEFKZo

Really great minimalist puzzle game. The recent update tripled the content of an already great game, definitely worth the price here. Knights are my least favorite chess piece, but playing them as a ninja may have changed my view of them.
The difficulty scales wonderfully right up until the last level which is very very hard, but just enough to where you feel accomplished when you beat it. The only negative I have here is you can’t pan the camera, only zoom and rotate. Other than that this is a standout of the minimalist puzzle genre.

Shadowlings
Shadowlings had a nice appeal for the first 15 minutes. It looked nice and felt nice. The way combat is done felt like something new. Sadly the initial appeal wears off very quickly and slowly declines into a boring grindfest. You get loads of money and XP with no real need for either of them. I kept waiting for game to become more interesting, but it never did. I even thought the final boss was just a prelude to the real boss. After an easy 1min fight you get a few lines of how you are now the leader of your clan, which btw you were the only survivor of…

Really good game, simplistic but lots of strategy involved. I’m lazy and that’s all I want to type for now, but overall it’s highway robbery at .99 cents. I kind of feel bad buying it that cheap. I think 5-7.50 USD would be a perfect price for this. I’ll come back later or tomorrow when I’m sober and expand on what I think could be improved on a bit. All simple fixes too. Anyways, highly recommended, great 2d top strategic swordfighter game.

Shinobi’s Way - a jigsaw chess tale
Eh, for the price it’s okay. The ‘chess’ mode is pretty bad (just jigsaws shaped vaguely like chess pieces), but otherwise the jigsaws are fine. There are only 6 of them though, but with 4 different amounts of pieces and the option to turn rotation on and off it offers just enough variety for the asking price.

A very nice jigsaw puzzle, relaxing and bold. If you ara fan of the Knight´s Retreat series you are gonna love it.
i reccomend.

Mark of the Ninja: Remastered
This is unequivocally one of the best stealth games around. It’s certainly one of the best Klei games.
The non-remaster version is no longer available on Steam for purchase so it’s a moot point, however:[olist]
-
Updated/enhanced visuals of an already fantastic art style.* Improved audio.* Includes the DLC “Dosan’s Tale”.[/olist]
Mark of the Ninja is effectively an instant classic as much as I hate the phrase. Seeing inspiration from the original MS-DOS Prince of Persia and the NES Ninja Gaiden with modern convenience and a stealth focus — Mark of the Ninja is what I’d call a ‘pure’ stealth game. What I mean by this is that fighting head-on is highly discouraged. But this does not mean you’re limited in how to accomplish the task set before you.

Rule number one: don’t get me killed.
Mark of the Ninja Remastered is a 2D stealth-platforming game. This re-release bundles a gameplay expansion, developer commentary, and improved visuals.
“Glint of Shuriken
Reflects as fear in the eyes
Of Tetsuji’s prey.”
As far as I can see, the sole improvements over the original release amount to some cutscene animation being smoother. Nonetheless, the game still looks fantastic thanks to the crisp hand-drawn art style and fluid character movement. The lighting engine remains mechanically simple, but objects turn black-and-white in the shadows, creating an excellent example of chiaroscuro.

Mark of the Ninja
I’m long time due with a review about Mark of the Ninja, as it’s gameplay and way of presentation captivated me from it’s first level.
Gameplay-wise the game is an stealth game - but unlike games like Thief series, here you can dispatch your enemies in various ways - if you want to.
You can arm yourself with incredible variety of tools - you can change your skin/cloth, resulting in a different combat style that can alter your health, pool of distraction or offense items, and sometimes introducing unique traits to that combat style.

I personally wasn’t a fan of Klei’s previous games, like Shank and Eets. I felt they were meh at best, extremely frustrating at worst. It doesn’t really help that puzzle games and beat em' ups weren’t exactly my forte.
And then they just went and released one of the best stealth games ever made out of flipping nowhere.
Pros (+) :
- Excellent level design, 95% of the rooms have more than one way of sneaking around, and many of them will require you to use your brain. How will you get around these lasers ? How will you sneak past these guards ? How will you open that door ?

Be like a ghost
Silence is your ally. Darkness is your most trusty friend. Use them to get close to your enemies, so they will never even see your blade cutting them into pieces.
Take on impossible challenges
For a true ninja warrior there is no such thing like an impossible challenge. Three enemies, seven, maybe an army? What is your definition of impossible?
Sneaking Around
There are over twenty words for sneaking in the Ninja’s vocabulary. He knows even more ways to stay unnoticed by the guards. In the game you’ll use all of them. You’ll also have a variety of malee weapons at your disposal, which will help you in resolving problems in different ways.
Eliminate Enemies
Perfection is the most important skill of a ninja. Perfection in combat. Perfection in planning. Perfection in execution. Without it, you will be punished for every mistake.
