2 Ninjas 1 Cup

2 Ninjas 1 Cup

JUST Finished it 100%. 26/24 sushis (cause I think I found 2 extras and missed one along the way, so i think could have been even 27/24). I bought it in like 2017 and finished it in 2021 , i’ve spent like 40 hours on it, and it’s truly wonderful. The “rage” aspect of it comes in the controls. They are very much seemingly intentionally bad and unpredictable controls that make the platforming hell on earth. But after a while (or , in my case, a few years) you get so used to the controls that you start trying alternative ways to platform just for the fun of it. Controls and gameplay aside, the dialogue is pretty funny. Afterall, the game is called 2 Ninjas 1 Cup, so it is supposed to be a comedy game, and it’s pretty good at that. I personally found it pretty funny and had a chuckle or 2 over the cutscenes. Worth every second of those 40 hours i’ve spent playing it, and I probably will now start speedrunning it cause I love this game so much. Incase the developer happens to read this, THANK YOU! Wonderful game.

dont let the silliness fool you. you might see some crummy, almost quaint pixel graphics. you might see some over-the-top antics. you might hear some weird and funny voice-acting. and you might have even read the summary, stating how stupid the game is. but again, dont let it cloud your judgement just yet.

while the game is very simple in nature, consisting only of movements and 2 buttons, it’s a fairly decent game, and a pretty tough platformer. not the hardest i’ve encountered; it’s challenging, but fair enough that it doesnt require such intricate microscopic precision to clear the stages. with a bit of practice and good timing, you could pass just about all obstacles.

The introduction feels like you’ll be there to see your first born live and die it takes so long. Most importantly though, the game’s main mechanic, the “tracking” is outright broken. Pressing either side does nothing no matter how many times you press, and when a new scene comes it’ll be clear suddenly for no apparent reason.

YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z

YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z

The only Ninja Gaiden experience currently available on PC! I say enjoy it!

Note: Only recommended if you have a controller!

Pros:

  • Amazing graphics and animation as one expects for a Ninja Gaiden game.

  • Cool combat and funny/interesting enemies

  • Funny anti hero character

Cons:

  • The game is too short for a Ninja Gaiden game

  • Enemies are funny but can get old, and no Ninja type enemies. All are zombies!

  • Can be frustrating (but then what Ninja Gaiden game isn’t?)

So in my view Ninja Gaiden 1 as a game is the Deus Ex equivalent of action games

I want to clear something up before I move on here. This game is NOT a traditional Ninja Gaiden game, if you couldn’t already tell. I feel as though some people were looking for a Ninja Gaiden 4, a true sequel to Gaiden 2 (because 3 was definitely a different, less satisfying beast). So Yaiba. This game is the extreme opposite of a true Ninja Gaiden game in many ways. However, it is also like those games in many ways as well. Let me explain.

I’ve played Ninja Gaiden 1-3, beginning from the original xbox. I was never great at them, constantly getting punished just like every other regular joe, but I beat all three. I’ve read from others that this isn’t a true Ninja Gaiden, that it’s easier, that it’s more or less terrible. Sure, if you were amazing at the first two, maybe this one wasn’t that next level of challenge you were looking for.

Really enjoyed playing through Binger Ninja!

I love the aesthetics of the game as well as the tongue in cheek humour. The music and visuals really do make you feel as though you are back playing a game boy game.

Seems like the developers have really hit the niche that they were going for which translates to a fun game :)

So, you’ve read the description of the game and now you’re here looking for the truth. Watch the video posted above, it’ll give you an intro to the game, gameplay and my thoughts on the game.

Binger Ninja is an interesting oddity in the sense that has way too many mechanics, charm and clarity to be only $1 (USD). I was not expecting so many polished systems, driving narrative and fun gameplay. Do you fancy yourself a ninja? What to crawl through vents and hide behind plants? Do you enjoy attacking people unmercifully with food? Are you hungry right now? A simple yes to any of these questions tells me that Binger Ninja is the game for you. Pick it up now and tell your friends as well.

Shadow Warrior Classic Redux

Shadow Warrior Classic Redux

Shadow warrior came out in 1997 and this is a remake-ish game with improved graphics and is easier to run on modern systems. You play as wang which is either a homage to old kung-fu movies or a walking stereo-type. The story isn’t too important but the gameplay is an FPS and a really good one. You can also interact with the enviorment (a.k.a Duke Nukem) to find hidden refrences and one-liners. I love the weapons, the(very corny) jokes, the set pieces, this game is a blast. All your weapons are varied and have alternate fire modes giving you plenty of ideas to approach combat with enemies. Just simply put, this is a polished, well made game.

Real player with 42.3 hrs in game

VERDICT: Shadow Warrior Classic Redux is the complete old-skool first-person shooter. Forget the story. Forget the graphics. These were the sorts of games where it was all about the gameplay. Theres lots of short fast-paced levels to explore. Discover obvious and not so obvious secrets. Massive amounts of relentless combat to enjoy. Including a large arsenal of weapons with which to gib an assortment of enemies with. Periodically tough bosses stand in your way to be defeated.

Its clunky graphics may be outdated and the game speed a little too fast unless you’re too young not to have played this the first time around but, the un-PC nature of the voiceover is hilarious and will make you laugh-out-loud. Those of you who dont enjoy single-player need to push aside their PvP addiction and just try it. If you feel the need for some old-skool Lo-Wan style kickassery then you cant do worse than start with this. Sure there is a modern day version but this game still reeks of fun.

It’s time for training and we’re getting started-

You roll.

They say, go slow

And everything just stands so still

We say, go go!

We’re ready for the fight, we know the drill

Monday morning and we feel defeated,

Seems so long ago

Tuesday’s comin' -

We just keep on beatin

‘Til we’re in our zone

They say, go slow

And everything just stands so still

We say, go go!

You’re gonna see us rip into it,

Just jump up kick back whip around and spin

Another Lego game, and another game based off of a movie. And this one is pretty good all things considered. I’ll be listing off various things about this game that I liked/ didn’t like, and the features that it does and doesn’t have, so chances are I’ll hopefully answer any questions one may have about this game before buying it. So let’s begin.

The story: If you’ve seen the movie, you’ve pretty much seen the game. It even uses clips from the movie in place of cutscenes, which works to some degree but I’ll touch on that later. As such, the main story follows that of the film, and while it does leave some things out, it also places a lot in. For instance, you get a lot more character with Jay when you play as him and Lloyd in the second act. And it makes the film just a little bit weaker in comparison, and I kinda like that, as I mentioned before, it gives him a bit more character. There are other scenes like that, but sadly not many.

Shadow Warrior 2

Shadow Warrior 2

After 3 years since the remake of Shadow Warrior the developers released a second title that continues the story. Though it is not a large span of time, it is big enough to fix the problems of the original and improve its weak points to create a true full-fledged sequel. However, instead of this obvious option, the developers decided to totally change the games mechanics and gameplay, going away from classical single player shooter to some multiplayer-ish looter shooter aka progression for the sake of progression. Did they succeed? Well, sort of.

Shadow Warrior

Story of a demonic incestuous affair that is uncovered by her older brothers and you can kinda guess the rest.

🔸Shadow Warrior’s story is well-written for a AA game. You are in control of Lo Wang, an assassin who is hired by a powerful Japanese magnate to buy an ancient katana -Nobitsura Kage- from a collector for 2 million dollars. However as you may expect, things don’t go as planned and Wang tries to take the katana by force, then he finds out Mr. Mizayaki -The collector- is in contact with a demon named Hoji.

For some reason I decided to go for all achievements in this game, so I had to complete it both on insane and heroic difficulties. Was it worth it? No. Was it fun? No. Was it entertaining? Sort of. But let’s take one thing at a time.

Shadow Warrior 2013 is a remake of a semi-popular old school shooter of the same title. Though I cannot really call this game a remake, because remake usually means a piece that is largely refined to fit modern standards and audience but keeps its original nature. I cannot say that this game doesn’t have anything in common with the original but it also stepped quite far from it. First things first, the gameplay was changed to fit modern shooter standards: most of creative things like using enemy’s head as a major weapon, nuclear rockets, demon heart that creates a copy of you, etc were discarded. They were changed with mainstream pistol, uzi, shotgun, crossbow, and demon heart now just acts as instant-kill bomb, enemy head became an optional thing, which is mostly useless. The shooting itself is very odd: you do not really feel any impact, there is a regular lack of ammo and some weapons are too OP over the others. However, the developers tried to expand the gameplay by adding magic and sword fights. I cannot say that these are bad but they are also far from perfect. Sword acts more like a bat that you have to punch enemies with rather than a blade that slices through them, on earlier levels you tend to run out of ammo and have to poke foes for ages with it, sword techniques are interesting but there is too few of them for the whole game. As for the magic spells, it adds some variety to the gameplay but, just like with sword skills, there are too few of them. Only 2 combat spells, which basically do the same thing – stun enemies – healing, and protection, which you will unlikely use at all if you play casually. The game is also very overloaded with upgrades. Instead of a tree or gradually opening skills you are instantly given 9 different progression screens for the character + 1 for each acquired weapon. Should I say that nobody’s gonna spend 20 min of just reading each and every description? Because of this, I personally missed a useful skill of resurrection just because I skipped reading another bunch of text. If those screens were introduced in the first 3-4 levels instead of the very first one it wouldn’t hurt the gameplay at all but made the introduction to the upgrades much smoother.
