Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun Reviews

I'm going to get a refund on this because I can't see myself playing this past what I've already played. So, basically, I tried ignoring the negative reviews on Steam, thinking maybe people had different tastes than I did (maybe) so (maybe) they might be being a bit harsh on the game. Nope. The game's controls are all mapped to one button as the game trailer says. One problem: All movement and combat is also designated to that button. Literally. Wanna move across a map? Hold down a button. Point with your controller stick. Launch at that direction. Wanna attack an enemy with a projectile? Point while MID AIR at the target while you've got a split second WHILE flying after having hit the aforementioned jump button. Nevermind that regular combat is done AUTOMATICALLY (you'll attack enemies just by touching them), which kind of takes the fun out of things...but then again if they kept regular combat in (using the ONE BUTTON configuration) I'm not sure that would be a fun experience. It's a mediocre experience at best already. Anyways, I don't mind highspeed combat, that's my jam. But this is a bit much. I wish the Devs well and hope their next game will be a bit less like this. At the very least, separate regular movement from the precision jumps that your character's going to need for navigation. Removing my ability to run around (on top of the combat limitations) kind of makes this game feel like a chore. If I had to give it a score: 2/5 I usually buy up and eat up Ninja games like crazy but alas I've found a game I don't like that stars a Ninja main character.
