Is Revenge of Shinobi, The still worth playing in 2026?
A ninja action game from Sega on GBA, The Revenge of Shinobi puts Joe Musashi back into a platform-and-combat adventure with blade and ninjutsu. The snappy pace, the varied techniques and the shinobi mood are the salt of the experience, in the line of the studio's classics. The presentation stays decent without brilliance and the lifespan modest. An honest pick for fans of old-school ninja action and Shinobi nostalgics after a handheld entry.
