Damn, thanks for the gameplay as usual, Sanuku. Only watched the first two levels and then stopped so not to ruin anything else, sold on this (as if I wasn't already). Controls look very fluid.
Wow. Game definitely looks great! Instabuy for me when it arrives in the Dutch AppStore . Still about two hours to go..
The gesture controls work ok, but i am liking the virtual buttons more. Im sure the problem is with me with Gesture controls... Sometimes when i swipe to jump diagonally, i jump vertically. LOL Only suggestion is to make the virtual buttons customizable. I want them closer to the edges of the ipad screen, although they do work ok as they are now. As for gameplay... FANTASTIC. Blood effects make for some satisfying kills, the different moves like stealth kills or the chain pull to slash or the running slash add depth and strategy to combat, and the platforming is top notch. If i were to describe this in one phrase, this is the League of Evil of the orient. Right now, i have to say, this is potentially better than LOE now. This game does a lot of things right, and is definitely worth the asking price of $2, while having zero IAPs.
Agreed. The animations are beautiful to look at and everything's just slick. The best 2$ you can spend tonight.
Thanks! One thing on the virtual controls, you can put your fingers anywhere above or below the buttons and they will do what they need to do.
Shadow Blade is really addictive. I've already completed half of the hardcore challenges and the entire first chapter with 3 sta... shurikens! I feel like the game resembles mirror's edge in a way. You can be terrible at it and the game's flow will be greatly impacted or you can pull off every move perfectly and it'll look really slick.
Then play Elmo or something... This is a violent and awesome ninja killing game. Why should it be censored for kids?
