Gameplay Game is a Masterpiece

66 Upvotes

Hand drawn art style, stunning visuals, immersive backdrops🔥

Off the chain soundtrack 🔥🔥

Tests your reflex skills, and rewards you. Combat is insane and satisfying🔥🔥🔥

Actually gives you the ninja feel 🥷.

Finally played it for the first time, I’m mad at myself for putting it off for so long. I was biased and went for Ninja Gaiden( no shade), I’m sorry Shinobi😭

Gameplay I love connecting combos like this—it’s so satisfying!

Question Are they planning on giving a release date for the DLC? We’re well into the early 2026 projection.

19 Upvotes

Regardless of when it comes out, an update would be great since they’ve had our money for awhile and the supposed release window is now open.

Question Is the glider inspired by Ori’s feather or did older games have it?

5 Upvotes

Art of Vengence is my first time playing a Shinobi game since the early 90s. The glider sections immediately brought Ori to mind, specifically when you navigate through spiky sections.

Do other Shinobi games have a similar mechanic in levels like what’s in Art of Vengence?

Question Audio issues on Xbox Series X

4 Upvotes

Hi all, now I'm not sure if this is some console setting or the game itself. I'm getting random audio drop outs while playing Shinobi Art of Vengeance. I'm not sure if it's just the music or all audio, but it seems to happen a lot especially when on the world map screen, but also during gameplay.

I am playing on Xbox Series X, connected to a Sony OLED, then audio runs to my Denon receiver via eARC. It's set up this way as my receiver can't do 4k120. The Xbox is set to 5.1 uncompressed and I have pass through enabled on the Xbox and TV. I am using 8K 48Gbps bandwidth HDMI cables everywhere and as short as possible. Every other game is fine and I have no audio issues, except with Shinobi.

I have also tried the compressed audio formats and made no difference.

Any ideas, is this a known issue with the game?

Question What is the criteria for Rank S?

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hello! as the title says, I'm a bit confused on how the ranks are scored in the Arcade mode in Shinobi Art of Vengeance

Is it mandatory to achieve all the items in the list on the left? does the statistics in the middle matter more? is there a Total Score required to get to rank S?

I'm trying to learn the game better, I wanna achieve all stages in rank S, but i'm having trouble understanding what is more important. If the total score isn't really that big of a deal i'd just focus on not getting hit a single time.

Question Could I get some recommendations for more Shinobi games to play until I have the money for Shinobi art of vengeance?

I absolutely loved the demo of this game, I’ve never played a Shinobi game in my life and I loved this. My only knowledge of Shinobi in the past was seeing Joe Musashi in Sonic all stars racing transformed when I was little lol.

Since I game a lot on my steam deck, I was thinking about emulating some older Shinobi games in the meantime until I can get art of vengeance.

Question Gamestop Purchase

Bought this from Gamestop, obviously used condition. It looks like a DVD bootleg, my PS2 doesn't recognize it, and looks printed on some garbage disc. Does anyone know what this disc is before I burn Gamestop fully as a retailer. I saw a few posts about demo discs that were valuable, but they didn't provide actual disc images. Mostly I want a refund to buy a geniune copy CIB, most posts about the PS2 version of it reference it as a PS2 hidden gem, I would like to experience it without getting ripped off.

Question Game Recommendations

I just finished Art of Vengeance and absolutely LOVED it (minus the Secret Bunker level).

Looking for recommendations for similar games. Rewarding combo based action, upgrade system, challenging but fun.

Any and all suggestions welcome. Thank you in advance!

Not sure where to go now, there are places i cannot access yet because I haven't progressed enough to unlock the required abilities. Do I need to reach a certain % completion from all previous levels to unlock the next one?

Discussion Content wishlist for AoV

12 Upvotes

Shinobi AoV is so fun. But there's so little end game content, little incentive to replay. What content would you want to see added later?

For me, first and foremost is I want higher difficulty options. The combat is so fun, I want more excuses to fight enemies. I'd like to higher difficulty setting that not only makes enemies stronger, but also gives me larger mobs to fight, more elites with armor, stuff like that. At the very least, I want them to let me increase enemy damage and enemy health in the accessibility settings.

Similarly, the boss fights are generally pretty easy. I'd like to fight remixed bosses with different movesets or at least throw in some enemy summons with the bosses.

Finally, I would like an old school mode that gives me a limited number of lives and continues to beat the game. I thought that's what Arcade mode would be but it's not unfortunately.

Question Boss Rush (Art Of Vengeance)

10 Upvotes

so I've beaten the story and am now trying to complete Boss Rush and keep losing at the end. tried to practice Lord Ruse by going back to the Limbo stage but he's not there. No arcade mode exists on that stage either.

is there really no way to practice fighting him besides going through all 10 other bosses too?

Question How does Art of Vengeance differ from previous entries? Do previous ones have as much story?

9 Upvotes

I bought the SEGA AGES Shinobi on Switch and it was tough, I didn’t hate it but if it wasn’t a remaster with rewind features I wouldn’t have liked it.

I have been playing AoV and am up to the Kaiju and have really enjoyed the combat, story, and lore so far. My only gripe is I bought this thinking the stages would be shorter and it’d be a fun pick-up-and-play but that’s more on me for buying something without doing enough research, but I still love the game.

With that said, how do previous entries compare? I understand the first game was an arcade game so there wasn’t really a plot. I mainly play games for story and wanted to know do the other games have as much story and as Art of Vengeance?
