SEGA’s highly anticipated Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is set to release in about a month for PS5 and PS4. However, fans can get a taste of the game with an available playable demo. The demo gives players access to the first level, Oboro Village, which showcases the basics of the game, shop upgrades, and special attacks.
Players will have the opportunity to explore alternate paths, complete optional challenges, and search for hidden chests throughout the stage. The game features large stages, requiring a map and multiple checkpoints, culminating in a boss battle upon completion. Once beaten, players can revisit the stage to find any secrets they may have missed or play through Arcade mode, which adds a score tracker and timer.
Reviews from players who have played the demo are overwhelmingly positive, praising the game’s slick gameplay and high replayability. Accessibility options for players with varying skill levels are also available.
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is set to be an excellent addition to the Shinobi franchise, which has been missing for a while. With its engaging gameplay and features, fans can look forward to experiencing this action-packed side scroller.
