From the developers of Blasphemous.

I hope this is good. It looks a bit like hard work, but Blasphemous was really good

I already know I'm too old for that...😂

Fuck yes!! I almost ignored this thread because I’m just not a Ninja Gaiden guy but flicking through TGA & this was the first thing I saw & I’m in 💯!!!

 

The Game Kitchen are quickly becoming one of my all time favourite devs.

Wait, there are now 3 new Ninja Gaiden games. I had to scroll back to here to make sure I didn’t dream it

 

No complaints 

[mfnick]

This is the one though. 

[Maf]

This does look cool but I feel like there are a lot more 2D, high speed, retro style action games as opposed to DMC style character action games. For me NG4 looks cooler and more interesting purely because those types of games are much rarer.
 

But this is not put one down to raise the other, it does look very good as well

New trailer

 

 

Some cool looking stuff in here, especially with the motorbike. But it also looks like The Messenger x Contra and those games are hard enough on their own.

[Maryokutai]

I'm in the same boat, looks really cool but I fear at some point it'll throw a boss at me that will make me question my life choices.

 

Plus there's also Shinobi coming out and I'm slightly leaning more towards that at the moment.

There’s a demo on Steam. I’ve just played through it, I can confirm it plays as well as it looks! Great fun, just cemented this as 100% a day one get 😁
