Ryu Hayabusa’s movement feels better than just about any other action game out there. But fortunately, Ninja Gaiden is great about providing you with the tools necessary for dealing with its intense difficulty.
It’s hyper-focused on non-stop aggression, with enemies that would just absolutely smother you with a barrage of sword slashes, shurikens, gunfire, rockets, and all other forms of nastiness.
While Devil May Cry always served as the prototypical “stylish” action game, Ninja Gaiden Black offered something different.
