Shadow Blade is a very good-looking game in motion. The delivery is dull and uninspired, and can often pull players out of the moment, detracting from otherwise great looking visuals. Their main shortcoming, though, is the game’s distractingly bad voice acting. Each panel is visually striking and well composed, making every scene fluid and appealing. Cutscenes are presented in a moving comic panel style and a lot of care has been taken to make these a real draw.
The story isn’t impressive, but it suffices enough to give the game context and purpose. It isn’t long before Kuro uncovers a power struggle among clan leaders and becomes the world’s only hope from a millennia-old secret.
When rival groups make an attack on Kuro’s dojo, taking his master as hostage, he sets out to defend his honor – avoiding enemies and traps along the way. Players assume the role of Kuro, the last remaining ninja of his clan. But too many missteps involving difficulty and poor voice acting create more than enough dull potholes to hold the game back from being very memorable once it’s all over. Indie developer Dead Mage’s recent 2D hack-and-slash, action platformer is a quick-moving, visually appealing trip through an interesting world.
