Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z offers a cel-shaded, blood-soaked Ninja Gaiden spin-off from Comcept and Spark Unlimited. The zombie concept is genuinely funny, but the execution stays really rough and far from Team Ninja's level. A disappointing curiosity.

Description
Bloody hack and slash spin-off of Ninja Gaiden. Published by Tecmo Koei in 2014 in Europe and the US. Yaiba, an old foe of Ryu, against a zombie horde, dismemberments and cel-shaded design from Keiji Inafune's Comcept. Unapologetically over the top.
