100% completion
It was July 7th, 2011. While investigating reports of unlawful weapons trafficking, peacekeeping forces encountered an unclassified carnivorous species occupying a small village in Northern Africa. These rabid creatures were easily provoked and resistant to conventional attack.
Back in the day when videogames were edgy weird and always coming up with new ideas that roll up your eyebrows.This game has that edge,its the origin of ideas to demon souls and other Masterpieces including Sekiro,This is the baby of fromsoftware.
The Good the Bad and the Ugly is how I would describe it.
Cheeseiest lore ever made like virus outbreak in modern city tokyo with ninja theme is nonsensical weird but hilarious.
Fascinating gameplay that hasn't aged.
Different types of Sword slingling with different ninjutsus and speed sprinting adds up the immersion in gameplay mechanics.
This game is a prototype of all ideas mixed together,kind of Ninja Gaiden esque with Hack and slash like DMC linked with quick time events that is just captivating.
Game is too easy to beat given that the QTE takes up the finishing moves on bosses.
What I really dont like about this one is the boss attack pattern,most of them are gigantic bastards that needs technique to defeat while few bosses that actually makes use of main weapon.
The UI is so slow and bad.
Some enemies will spam the same attack over and over including bosses.
While gameplay is fast paced,main menu is extremely slow to navigate it's options in order to optimize FPS every time you play.
Why there's no option for Japanese voice? The English version is abysmal.
No save system in middle of mission.
At the End level is where they went out of ideas where repeatition of same previous level and same bosses, felt like chore.
There's a mission where you will be using machine gun alot and they repeated this same thing in later stages.
The Final boss fight is so hard to defeat unless you have too many health and adrenaline to use that ninja blade power.
Other than that I enjoyed it most of the time.
This game has so many QTE flashes with his eye zooming towards you to be ready,loved it.
Fromsoftware University should be Real.
