A retro tribute to Shinobi, demanding and stylish. Precise controls, sneaky traps and imposing bosses require mastery and patience. An indie gem for old school arcade fans.

Is Ganryu still worth playing in 2026?

Published by Visco, Ganryu is a 2D arcade action game that openly follows in the footsteps of Sega's Shinobi, right down to its ninja, shuriken and grappling hook. The pace is fast, the stages short and the challenge stiff, in the grand tradition of demanding cabinets. The crisp pixel art has aged rather well, even if the whole lacks truly fresh ideas. For fans of old school action platformers and hunters of Dreamcast rarities, it is a short but well crafted treat.
