This game made my childhood, I remember upgrading to Windows 7 just so I can play this, as it wasn't available on XP or some sh*t like that, good old times. :)
I honestly would like for Microsoft pick up the IP. It was already their exclusive, plus I think Ninja Theory could do it some justice. The QTEs indeed aren't punishing, but that's sorta my only gripe with this game. I don't like that you're warned every time a QTE's about to occur, and that it forces you to retry instead of dealing with the outcome.
I loved this game! I wasnt aware it was made by Fromsoftware at the time but i religiously played this back in the computer shop when i was HS in philippines. And i definitely prefer this than Ninja Gaiden.
My two issues with this game Too many QTEs and his Mask. A ninja wears a face mask over his mouth, a superhero wears a eye mask. Ninja Gaiden is the best ninja game series but this had some cool idead. I loved his scabbard and how it opened up to carry up to 3 swords!
I came extremely close to buying this game back when it released but never did. It reminded me of Ninja Gaiden from the cover but even cooler. Nice review 👌
Thanks for checking it out! I was definitely a fan of Ninja Gaiden back during Black and while I was late to playing this game, it still was a great experience.
@@Natquerx fr im glad i own it for the classic xbox 360 :) although my one critique of the game is some of the endgame levels suck big time but the bosses more than make up for it :)

Oh, wow I figured most people were playing it on Xbox 360 at that time and not windows.

I just love old games
From my memory of the game I loved it wish they made more
Even with its flaws...ninja blade and dark souls 2 are amazing even though some people would like you to think otherwise
I haven't gotten around to Dark Souls 2 but I definitely need to try that one as well.

@@Natquerx I still need to play it as well and Ninja Gaiden Black was so so good.
you can definitely see the influence it had on sekiro.
This is my favorite game 🎮 ❤
I used to love this game bought I Xbox just to play it again
1:10 welp, the devil may cry series
I actually finished this game as a kid but probably can't now
I remember when they released a demo for this game before it came out. I remember not liking it much cuz it felt like a worse Ninja Gaiden.
This game was a blast playing man I would always remember using my dad's file since he had everything
I can agree with that. I have played a lot of games that people would deem terrible, but this isn't one of them.
iam searching ninja gaiden collection for pc and this keeps popping up instead think ill play the bugger
ok im gonna be honest i cant tell if this video is a joke or not but i loved it ninja blade was a great (although VERY flawed) game and i love it
It was meant to that way in the beginning but also how it was important to FromSoft's upbringing.

Im playing this on steam deck
Now you gotta talk about their older games
Man I want to load up Otogi.
Reminds me of ninja gaiden
This needs to be on steam deck
They delisted it back in 2022 :(
@@Natquerx so there no way to get it at all?
@@vengeance8370 sorry for the late reply but I got mine from greenmangaming!
@@Natquerx 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 thank you
This was my shit on the 360 my cousin & I would take turn beating his dad it was like playing god of war
xD Glad to hear you guys enjoyed it! Have you played it again recently?
@@Natquerx nah I’m on the ps5 now but I still got the 360 disc just need the xbsx than I’ll play it again
This video is fucking hilarious
Its a cool game but I cant stand QT events when they are used so much throughout the game.
I was gonna rag on you for completely failing to be sarcastic. But you gave the game it's props so...nice one.
Ninja gaiden is just more fun ngl
Play Ninja Gaiden lol
