Review Mark Of The Ninja: Remastered - A Stellar Stealth Hit That's Better Than Ever
Hello darkness, my old friend
In 2012, Klei Entertainment (which would later go on to produce Don’t Starve) debuted Mark of the Ninja on the Xbox Live Arcade, introducing a bold 2D take on the stealth genre. Boasting gorgeous hand-drawn visuals and tight, open-ended gameplay, this new platformer quickly developed a reputation for its quality,...

For all the gun-blazing, whip-cracking, all-out action and mayhem there is to enjoy in video games, sometimes a change of pace is needed. All that one-note violence can get boring, no? Why not eliminate that patrolling guard or spittle-covered demon in a more sophisticated manner; something more understated than a rocket launcher to the face?...

A review of this would be nice
@Pignot It's a good game, but according to the developers on their forums they couldn't get it running at 60 fps on Switch without an engine re-write. The sad thing is it seems to run at 60 (not consistently) if you dock or undock it until you hit a load screen or cutscene. Then it drops back to 30. They said the next patch will lock it at 30 though... I'd at least like the option because to me, 60 sometimes is better than locked 30.
If you want my mini review, It's an awesome game, no doubt. It feels very much like a 2D Splinter Cell in a way, and the movement is quite fluid (dropping on a guard from above, assassinating them, and then grappling to a higher point as the Ninja jumps at the end of the kill animation feels fantastic). If frame rate is important to you, I say go for a different version, but if not, this should be just fine
Almost ten years after its initial release, there is still no better 2D stealth game than Mark of the Ninja. Innovative gameplay with a compelling story and a lovely Saturday-morning cartoon animation style.
