Even though Ninja Gaiden is in the title don’t expect Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z to be like the others. The cell shaded zombie killing ninja game focus not on Ryu but on one of his slain enemies. To begin Yaiba is different from Ryu, not just in fighting style but in personality. For instance while Ryu care for honor and the ninja code Yaiba can careless. Yaiba is a talkative foul mouth perverted ninja powerhouse. Here is how things are so far after being killed by Ryu Yaiba is put together by unknown group and then sent to handle a reactor issue with the promise of getting to me Ryu again. The game play is normal attire heavy slash and weak slash and grab (the grab allows you to take zombie and uses it against other zombies.) Also there is a rage mode called blood lust that increases Yaiba strength. I can’t speak of weapons at the moment as all I have seen is Yaiba use his sword and zombie arms as nunchuks. The enemies are weak zombies mid bosses and powerful bosses that rang from a zombie that breathes fire to a building size two-headed baby. The enemies also offer comic relief as zombies are used to clear your path from time to time and do so in not so creative but funny ways. Watch the gameplay trailer to learn more.
As always thank you for reading.
