Ninja 1987 is a dive back into the past with the most authentic 8-bit side-scrolling action-platformer. Use shinobi skills to thwart a nefarious threat and rediscover all the adrenaline of timeless classics!
Old-school infused 2D action game inspired by the classic Ninja Gaiden trilogy
If it featured much more variety in its levels and no glitches then Ninja 1987 would be a must-play for retro action game fans. 🏯
People who expected Ninja 1987 to be along the lines of Ninja Gaiden will end up frustrated by its softer challenge. However, if your wish is for a retro adventure with great level design alongside its retro visuals, this is an excellent choice. It's a neat title, accessible for any console or PC to enjoy with no worries.
If Ninja 1987 had actually released in 1987, it would be remembered today as a middle-of-the-pack action-platformer.
While I am happy to see SEEP’s interesting catalog get introduced to a new audience, Ninja 1987 is a pretty disappointing start to that trend.
