Reviews of Team Ninja Games
Love island
When Sony settled on the slogan “this is living”, we think it may have had Venus Vacation Prism: Dead or Alive Xtreme in mind. This eye-poppingly presented PS5 dating game may seem like an oddball outing, but Koei Tecmo has been working towards it for eons. Those of you with strong memories may recall Dead or Alive Xtreme on the...
Review Rise of the Ronin (PS5) - A Safe, Outdated Open World Game
A whole Nioh world
By trying to do so much, Rise of the Ronin feels like an inferior version of everything it's inspired by. With an open world populated by map markers and side activities, it’s a worse Assassin's Creed. With a historical Japanese setting, it's a worse Ghost of Tsushima. With a combat system that prioritises parrying, it's a worse...
Review Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (PS5) - Excellent Action RPG a Must Play for Masochists
The stuff Wuxia dreams are made of
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty raises the bar for Soulslike combat to such an extent it deserves to break free from that descriptor entirely in favour of something new. It provides deeply intricate combat and an exhilarating arcade alternative to FromSoftware's more contemplative formula. A game like Elden Ring seeks to...
Review Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (PS5) - Utterly Ridiculous Final Fantasy Spin-Off
Elixer? I hardly knew her!
The first four minutes of the ludicrously titled Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin set the scene perfectly. There’s a cutscene of a dark knight annihilating a platoon of soldiers while he carries an unconscious princess on his shoulder. Then you’re in a boss battle against a multi-headed creature without...
Review Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection (PS4) - Cut-Throat Action, Old-School Design
Ninja star
Ryu Hayabusa has been enjoying an early retirement ever since the Ninja Gaiden series was put on ice years ago. Team Ninja has been busying itself with the Nioh games in the meantime, a more deliberate style of action title that takes things in a different, yet more modern, direction. Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection brings Ryu back with...
Review The Nioh Collection (PS5) - Backwards Compatibility Causing a Conundrum
Death defies Nioh
A collection of last-gen games gussied up to be re-released on a new console is nothing new. This particular Nioh collection is perhaps a bit more unique in that it includes a supposed remaster for a game that was released a mere ten months prior, but that’s not even the strangest thing about this Nioh bundle. The Nioh Collection...

News Team Ninja Is Aware of Demand for a New Ninja Gaiden Game
Nothing confirmed, though
Team Ninja has been doing pretty well for itself with the Nioh series. The second game is right around the corner, and by all accounts, it's shaping up to be a fantastic sequel. If you haven't yet, check out our thoughts on Nioh 2 after a hands-on demo. As great as these games are, there's still a hope among fans that the...

News Team Ninja Stealthily Teases New Title for the PlayStation 4
Ryu expecting that?
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z may just be the silliest game releasing in the near future; the title's ridiculous zombie ninja hybrid has us both puzzled and absolutely delighted. But if you were hoping that co-developer Team Ninja would also be cooking up something a little less ridiculous to balance this glaring goofiness, you may be in...

Feature Understanding the Niche - Ninja Gaiden III
Cutting deeper for a better understanding
Ninja Gaiden III recently sliced its way to store shelves with much hype and anticipation from long-time fans, but developer Team Ninja’s hopes to release a Ninja Gaiden title with mass market appeal unintentionally cut right through the hearts of its core fanbase that’s supported the studio for nearly a...

News Witness 30 Minutes of Deadly Ninja Gaiden III Footage
Are you a simple Hero, or a Master Ninja?
Like the series stealthy ninja protagonist Ryu Hayabusa, silently running towards an enemy pawn, a full 30 minutes of Ninja Gaiden III gameplay footage silently slipped upon us while we slept through the night. Through the jump you can feast your eyes on the intense action, as OXM plays through the entire...

News Ninja Gaiden Sigma Slices to Vita
With exclusive control options too
Ninja Gaiden moved into the 3D world when it launched on the Xbox in 2004. Staying true to its 2D side-scrolling roots, the game was difficulty was through the roof, but yet a deep fighting engine reminiscent of Team Ninja’s Dead or Alive series gave those willing to perfect the intricacies of this games engine a...

It’s has been rumoured here at Movemodo for quite some time, but an unexpected email from Tecmo Koei stealthily slipped into our email inboxes today and confirmed that the upcoming release of Ninja Gaiden 3 will release with full PlayStation Move support.
