TouchArcade - Dead Mage’s Shadow Blade [$1.99] has one thing on its mind: fast-paced Ninja action with a healthy dose of platforming. In this regard, it succeeds pretty well in creating a focused experience perfectly suited for iOS devices. True, with its level-based gameplay and three-star system, Shadow Blade doesn’t offer anything particularly innovative, but its attention to streamlined controls and emphasis on level balance still make it a highly enjoyable game worth checking out.
Shadow Blade is a fast-paced ninja platforming game currently available for iPad/iPhone and Android devices (including Ouya), from Dead Mage Game Studio. It features intuitive touch controls and an array of weapons and challenging levels. Shadow Blade: Reload was enhanced version of the game for PC but has now been revealed as one of the new titles heading its way to the Xbox
This game looks so good.
I really love 2D side scrolling action for this gen. Love how 3D elements are incorporated giving this old school style of gameplay a fresh coat of paint and fresh air.
I really, really want to play this game with Kinect. Here is hoping they can port it as well as fruit ninja
Sadly, it looks like it may just use the controller
Ahh yes would love Fruit Ninja on the One :) I don't have a Kinect, but that would be worth buying one for! ;)
Very nostalgic looking title, for that reason alone I'm interested! Loving the retro-feel of a lot of new games like Roundabout, The Escapists and Olli Olli. One to watch, this! :)
Hardcore Droid: "The Swedish-American developer team DeadMage has followed up their mythology-based melee-explorer fantasy-adventure debut Garshasp: The Monster Slayer with a fast-paced platformer called Shadow Blade, which is more concise in every way."
Platform/action game Shadow Blade has received a brand new update today, which includes new stages, enemies and features.
