With Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, Lizardcube gives that pixel-perfect 16-bit Streets of Rage 4 treatment to another Sega classic


Deep cut.

The first level sends you through a village that’s being burnt to the ground by baddies: perfect cinematic stuff in which to learn how to air dash, double-jump and blitz your foes with combos. - and while the whole thing is wonderfully hand-drawn with sharp black lines and Silver Age poses, the sense of connection makes it feel like the most pixel-perfect 16-bit game you ever played. There are also Ninpo moves that are tied to elements by the looks of things, and a range of super-strength Ninjutsu screen-clearers, the first of which left me checking whether my eyebrows had been burnt off.
