Our take on Nil-Ninjahtic: Ronin
Players who rely on open-ended exploration will hit the main wall when progressing through each level, since the routes are deliberately straightforward. The difficulty may create a second friction point, although frequent checkpoints and unlimited continues remain available after failed attempts.
What is Nil-Ninjahtic: Ronin?
Nil-Ninjahtic: Ronin is a pseudo 8-bit action platformer centered on environmental interaction during platforming and puzzle sections.
Each level follows a straightforward route rather than the open-ended progression found in earlier series entries. The character is styled more like a samurai than a ninja, with combat involving samurai duels and several enemy types. Levels contain multiple screens of platforming challenges and puzzles. The game uses 8-bit visual and audio presentation, offers frequent checkpoints, and allows unlimited continues. An Xbox 360 controller is supported and recommended. Its mechanics draw from previous games in the series while combining them differently.
