Mark of the Ninja review

Exceptional

by Rafael Gazola Ghedini

Mark of the Ninja is a stealth game by well-known Indie Developer Klei Entertainment. The Game is daring and united came 2D Jump and Run with Stealth and it works beautifully. The Story is about the Main Character and his Tattoos, which give him special Powers but drive you mad over time. That's why each of these Ninjas swore to take their Own lives before they lose their Minds. The Story is simple, about Love and Betrayal, everything that belongs to it, but is told in great Cartoon Cutscenes and remains exciting to the End. The Ending is quite generic, but touches one. The Graphics are handmade and provide a great Comic Look that fits perfectly with the Game, the Levels are well designed, some Elements repeat once in a while, but that doesn't stand out any further. As in classic Jump and Run Games, you run and jump through the Levels, and you can also crawl along most Walls like Spiderman. As you go through the Levels, Traps and Guards evades you try to do as little of a crash as possible, this is beautifully represented by Sound waves. As usual for a Ninja, opt for either a bloody Path or an invisible Path. You are completely free whether you kill all The Guards and then hide the Corpses or whether you go around all the Obstacles and do not arouse suspicion. There are also useful Skills such as the classic Cardboard Box (Snake lets greet) or the obligatory Smoke bomb, which of course must not be missing a Ninja. Some Stealth Passages are sophisticated, but it never gets really unfair. It is always a great Feeling when you have mastered the difficult Place in a sweat-bathed way. Of course, it often happens that you get caught, it remains open to you whether you are fighting Or loading The last Checkpoint, the Checkpoints are almost too fairly distributed and you often get caught trying a Place and loading it again immediately because it is not like geplan t skin. Mark of the Ninja is a great Stealth Game, here big Publishers can take a look a little, because that's exactly how you make a good Exciting Sneak experience. The Story is told thrillingly in great Cutscenes, sneaking is really Fun and there are all sorts of Secrets and Collectibles to be found. But You also have to take little Patience and Perseverance with you, because with many Passages you have to sneak through because you have no Chance in the Fight. So Those who prefer action and Explosions than a precisely missed assassination Attempt are definitely wrong here. The Game time is fine with 8-10 Hours for the Story, if you want to create the 100% you are definitely busy much longer, to which after the End of the Game there is still a New Game Plus mode with a difficult Difficulty. Stealth Fans should definitely strike.
