2025 is the year of the Ninja, bringing us 3 new entries in the beloved Ninja Gaiden Series. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a new 2D action platformer entry that evokes the original NES trilogy. It takes place directly after the opening moments of the original game.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a Modern Throwback
The rift between the demon realm and the human realm was broken. The world teeters on the brink of chaos and destruction. Whilst Ryu, known as the series protagonist, is chasing vengeance. The rest of the world puts their fate in the hands of our two new protagonists, Kenji and Kumori.
These two are linked by the grudges held by their clans. However, they must put these grudges aside to merge their powers to stop great evil.
Gameplay in Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound
The gameplay blends fast-action swordplay with demanding and challenging platforming. This is a call back to the infamous difficulty of the original NES series. And on top of this, players can expect to face tough-as-nails bosses.
The modern elements added to Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound include chasing collectibles, finding secret areas, completing optional challenges, and upgrading abilities!
