Ninja Gaiden is BACK! Ragebound Review: 80s Action Bliss!

Get ready to sharpen your katanas! Ninja Gaiden is making a serious comeback. While fans eagerly await the arrival of Ninja Gaiden 4, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound has already landed, offering a nostalgic and exhilarating return to the series' 2D side-scrolling roots. But is it any good?

Ragebound: A Blast from the Past, Perfected

Forget rehashed ideas; Ragebound takes the best elements of the original NES trilogy and elevates them to a whole new level. You step into the shoes of Kenji Mozu, a student of Ryu Hayabusa, who must defend his village from demonic forces while Ryu is away on NES adventures. The Black Spider Clan is also in the mix, trying to control a Demon Lord – because ninjas and demons go together like peanut butter and jelly!

Story? Who Needs Story When You Have Ninjas?

The plot might be goofy, but it provides the perfect backdrop for slicing and dicing your way through hordes of enemies. The banter between Kenji and Kumori, a kunoichi from the Black Spider Clan, adds a layer of humor and intrigue. Despite generations of bad blood, they're forced to work together, leading to some genuinely entertaining moments.

Why Ragebound is a Must-Play

  • Pure Adrenaline: The gameplay is fast, fluid, and incredibly satisfying.
  • Perfectly Polished: Ragebound refines the classic Ninja Gaiden formula.
  • 80s Nostalgia: A pixelated love letter to the golden age of ninja action.

So, is Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound worth your time? Absolutely. It's a dopamine-fueled dose of pure ninja bliss that will leave you wanting more. Get ready to unleash your inner ninja!
