Don't waste your time with this one. It's bad. It's like a crash bandicoot version of a ninja game except worse. If you hate someone you can gift it to them, tell them it's awesome and you can't wait to hear what they think of the ending. Cut scenes don't play. There isn't even a sound effect for picking up coins. The character models looked better in Goldeneye 64. This game isn't even trying to be retro, it just sucks. Think all the great ninja platformers you've played and then think of the most generic great-value version, then nuke that into a microwave and you might get something like this game. It's a mobile game from 2015 and smart phones hadn't even been out for 10 years at that point. Negative infinity out of ten.
