Ninja Spirit
Shoot em up with extreme gravityGenre: action - hack n slash
Publisher: NEC
Year: 1990
System: TurboGrafx-16
Gameplay Score: 4
Gameplay Notes:
Slow movement but once you're powered up with two ghost familiars (Ninja Gaiden 2 style) you're able to fill the screen so speed doesn't matter as much. Also enemies move rather slowly too. Toggle at will between four different weapons. Super high jump. Plays more like a shoot em up than a platformer. Maybe a shoot em up with extreme gravity.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
Extreme verticality in many stages. Some fun elements which teach you to use each of the weapons strategically.
Theme Score: 5
Theme Notes:
Exudes coolness. Unabashedly Ninja focused
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
Nice, squat sprites. Screen filling weapons area sight to behold. Massive slowdown fire to the huge sprite counts, but it's almost welcome because of the frenetic action. Drab colors. I wish projectiles were easier to discern.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
Meh music and sounds
Overall Score: 79
