Furtive, having their own definition, it slips into our games in many ways. Sometimes it slips under the guise of an RPG, like a no-kill game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. In other cases, mixed with an action title, like the version of Sam "Panther" Fisher of Splinter Cell Conviction. And not often enough, it is presented in its purest form, where they face an almost certain death - or at least very long odds - if they are considered. Thief of the series, quintessence. Or, in 2012, Mark of the Ninja.Laudably, there's no stuff in the Ninja bag. Instead, it takes the best ingredients from the old and new examples of the kind of stealth and powerful drink mix in a knockout. The appearance is superb thanks to these talented artists and animators responsible for the series of downloadable games Klei Entertainment, Shank. Whenever you make an undetected kill, the camera zooms and obscures the background, you and your victim resaltándote as you are casting your leaf on it and then throwing its body on the side or through a fence.
You will be forgiven if you confuse what you see an animated M-rated series on Adult Swim.Brand Ninja - Game02:59But the game is the most important. In a movement that is both refreshing and familiar, Mark of the Ninja is a 2D furtive adventure that at first glance looks a bit like Metroidvania-esque. You jump and hang on its way through the most linear levels (although the way back paths occasionally happen to happen), hang on walls and ceilings, hiding in the bars of the floor, and press On B for the duck behind plants in pots or in the doors - all in the name to avoid detection.Start with only these basic movements, but at the end of the levels and secondary goals within each mission (such as complete a zone without triggering an alarm), get medals exchanged for new moves to significantly encourage gambling And its open options. For example, there is a joke that allows you to attack your death in order to terrorize the other guards, the Batman. Or not so subtle a wink for Metal Gear Solid: the cardboard. See their hero dressed in black get out of underneath simple costume, grab a victim and drag him back under the box, while his friends roam ignorant sadist is so rewarding as he is hilarious.More seriously commendable is the Ninja scoring system. While many claim that stealth games you can tell them how you want to play (read: fatal or not), it is really reward you with XP won the medal anyway. If you knife each fool, you will earn a few points. Hide their bodies when you're done and you sharper. Terrorizarlos and child will more.
Or score a lot of points just to hide bad guys without being detected. It is complemented by additional game styles that become available as you go, such as "Way of the Ninja". This eliminates your sword - it's almost impossible to kill anyone - but it gives you extra distraction tools, such as the aforementioned cardboard box, firecrackers, terror darts, etc. It completely changes the way the game, similar to seeing a director's cut different from his favorite movie is played.All these additional benefits result in the highly recommended New Game Plus, where enemies become more difficult but you have access to all your arsenal of gifts from unlocked mode the first phase.You'll want to replay the campaign 6-8 hours, but probably not to the story (but oh, those drooling inducing animated cinemas!). The plot begins simple and does not really evolve, although it is just enough to make you stop and think when you reach your final bifurcated participation. Unfortunately, no choice in the highlight of the campaign is paying with a revelation or additional background. Or whatever, really.Theatricality and deceit are powerful tools ...The only Ninja crimes are, first, that enough gorgeous animations are not displayed; Is simply not enough
variety in the deaths. Almost all deadly cut scenes show that a bad guy in the neck or stomach. Even on the game side of what could be cooler - is always pressing X and a cardinal direction for each fatal shot. We would have liked to have seen (literally, with this style of magnificent art) more options in the means of their enemies.And on the other hand, Ninja is losing his way a little two-thirds of the way through the game with a somewhat frustrating stage full of puzzle platformer. It does not last long, but it is obvious point
