"SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance - Full Game No Damage (Arcade Mode / S-Rank) Sega has finally released a new Shinobi game after almost [--] years with the previous game in the series being Shinobi 3DS. Millions of Fortnite fans have been born and raised in that time frame so we were overdue for a new entry in this classic series. Art of Vengeance retains a lot of the previous Shinobi skills and abilities while "modernizing" it for today's audience by making it more of a Metroidvania with lots of optional upgrades and secrets to find. I'm not a fan of that. It creates a lot of dead air and down time"

"R-TYPE DELTA: HD Boosted - No Death Clear (Bydo Difficulty / R13) At one point R-Type was a series that needed no introduction but is that still the case in [----].

It was originally released exclusively on the PS1 back in [----] but just last month it received a new "HD Boosted" port for every modern platform. I've played R-Type before of course but I've never put any serious time into learning and clearing one. It's not uncommon to see people saying Delta is"

It's a total Mega Man clone from how the stages are set up to the way the game plays and thankfully this isn't a shitty game that sucks ass. It's actually pretty good This is a full playthrough of the highest difficulty Hard As Balls. This game has easy normal and hard mode equivalents and while I've never played it on easy the normal and hard difficulties have some notable differences.

Now there are "cursed" arcade cabinets that spawn a boss from one of the previous games. Defeating the boss drops an extra star so it's worth clearing all of them out.

It's a pretty basic playthrough without many tricks or exploits to steamroll bosses tbh. Onnamusha is a bit more complex than the regular character but the game is still very simple so I don't think it's a huge difference or anything. Basically she has two different styles you can swap between - a speed mode where you do pitiful damage but can move and dodge freely and a power mode where you can"

Aesthetically it's meant to be a call back to the Mega Drive where shooters were plentiful. And Earthion is as good as anything the Mega Drive has to offer. I did not expect to like it so much but it's a great game It's available now on Steam for $19.99 so if you're a fan of the genre it's an easy recommendation from me. I think it's coming to console later as a physical release"

It's very much an indie game so don't expect it to have the budget or polish of the heavy hitters like Streets of Rage or TMNT but despite that it's a very fun game. The combat is more combo oriented than most classic beat 'em ups allowing you to juggle enemies with multiple attack strings special attacks and wall bounces.

Its closest comparison is probably Sifu which is one of the all time great action games so it's not a bad one to draw from But rather than kung fu En Garde goes for more of a Zorro or perhaps a Puss in Boots vibe.

The combat is simple but the way you have to balance offense and defense and make use of the environment makes it"

The girl seems like the hardest and the big guy is strong but I had a harder time building up my combo with him when I tried him out. So I just stuck with Ricco.

The checkpoint just before you go down into the sewers was pretty tough to get a somewhat decent run through.

It's also one of the hardest ones in this game I think. Even with the drastically reduced enemy count the imps are always annoying to deal with and there are some relatively long stretches between save points.
