WITHIN THE BLADE PS4

The historical Battle of Okehazama represented a major turning point in Japanese history, with the surprise defeat of daimyō Imagawa Yoshimoto bolstering the reputation of his victorious rival Oda Nobunaga. The game, loosely inspired by historical events, sees your heroic ninja Hideaki, member of the “Black Lotus” clan, commissioned to wipe out the enemy forces that have plunged Japan into civil war, in the wake of the Battle of Okehazama (1560). Within the Blade is quick to let you know what it’s all about: your adorable little 8-bit ninja warrior is dropped in the middle of a forest, and a bunch of nasties wielding swords, bows-and-arrows, and other era-appropriate weaponry are out to get you. The second I saw Within the Blade in action, I knew it was for me. Oh, and I have no less than twelve Ninja Turtle figures (three sets each of comic/cartoon/movie versions) on my shelf, staring at me. Strider/Zeku are my go-to players in the various Capcom fighting games.

WITHIN THE BLADE PS4

I thought Ghost of Tsushima was the last great game of the PS4 era, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the only Soulslike I’ve ever completed, and only because I refused to be the ninja who gave up.

Its stylish 8-bit aesthetic harkens back to NES titles of old, but its extremely low-budget trimmings (which help explain its woefully lacking web presence, but also its $14.99 price point) mean this one’s only for the diehards. Within the Blade is an ultra-indie ninja action game carrying serious Ninja Gaiden/ Mark of the Ninja vibes. It would have impressed my four-year-old self now it’s just sort of neat. Available now for PS5 (Reviewed), PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows.Īn 8-bit ninja action game with an emphasis on action over stealth.
