The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors

Mechanics

Before playing The Ninja Warriors: Once Again, players choose one of the androids differing in of appearance, combat skills, and weaponry. While Ninja fights with nunchaku, Kamaitachi uses kusarigama (a special sickle on a chain), and Kunoichi uses knives and swords; the three original heroes are complemented by two new protagonists, Yaksha and Raiden.

Players observe the action from the side perspective, as they complete linear levels and fight against hordes of enemies; at the end of each stage there is a powerful boss. Battles are dynamic, and during them players have to perform quick dodges, mount instant counterattacks, and effectively block enemy blows. In addition, androids can make use of environmental elements like motorcycles and throw them at enemies. In addition, in the course of the struggle players charge a power bar, after which they can perform a special attack dealing damage to all adversaries visible on the screen.

Game modes

In The Ninja Warriors: Once Again, one can play alone or in the company of another player, as part of a local co-op mode.

Technical aspects

In comparison to the original, The Ninja Warriors: Once Again stands out thanks to its nicer visuals, which have been adapted to modern standards (improvements have been made to the characters' models), while maintaining the "spirit" of the original.
