Andrew Weymes of The Nightly Gamer writes: "Although From Software has been around for more than two decades, they've never really been a household name like other third party developers such as Capcom, SEGA or Square Enix. The reason for this is because they've stuck to niche' genres for the most part. From Software already has a couple of well known series such as Armored Core and Tenchu but the recent demo of Ninja Blade on Xbox LIVE suggests that their popularity is going to continue to rise."
The Outerhaven writes Fromsoftware has created some of the most played games in the world, but also a number of games that have been overlooked, such as these gems that we've taken a look at in this article.
Ninja Blade is From Software’s best ninja game of all time, including Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. At least it’s the best version of a specific type of ninja game.
Well aren't you cool? Taking a game that was pretty much universally acclaimed and then saying that one that received mediocre to bad reviews across the board is better... There's always one "hipster" out there with a contrarian opinion.

I don’t remember much of it but wasn’t it a QTE heavy game like Asura’s Wrath and GOW3?
It was like the Xbox Ninja Gaiden with an insane amount of QTEs. Not bad but not innovative.
FromSoftware is a game developer that has found popularity in the gaming industry thanks to their widely popular and best-selling series, Dark Souls. They may have gained notoriety from this series, but they have been around since 1986 with their first video game published in 1994 and have produced many popular games. Here are 5 games they have made that are not Dark Souls.
The Adventures of Cookie and Cream (Or Kuri Kuri Mix as is known in PAL territories) is actually a pretty good game, and gets damn hard in the latter stages.
I'd love to see FromSoft make King's Field 5, or maybe another Armoured Core. I love the Souls games, but I don't want to see it milked for all its worth.
Didn't they also make the 3D Dot Game Heroes (or something like that).
I actually enjoyed that a lot on PS3
They actually only handled publishing in Japan. It was developed by Silicon Studio.
I wanted to keep the entries to their own respective genres. Chromehounds and Armored Core are both mecha. I almost included it though.
...I'm saying I knew FromSoft had a hand in all of these games. I would know, I own/ed most of them.
Armored Core series producer left From Software.
My guess is the company shifted all focus to Souls series... :(
RIP Armored Core....
I would love to see them come out with a new IP in the mecha genre. Armored Core was cool, but I think they have expanded their skills to make a more unique game.
i love the demo the game look awesome
well the best game from From Software this gen is Demon's soul.
King's field reborn FTW
Please!
I can't believe anyone having troble with the controls, I'm 58 years old and didn't have any problems adjusting to the controls in a few minutes! I guess some people just can't play video games!
Its ninja gaiden but with those annoying push this button now or die sequences
I cant stand games that have too much of "push button A now! (i dodge an axe blow)....game continues... push button B now! oops didn't get it in time now Im dead" Poor lazy game design in my opinion
I want to decide how to kill the enemies or how to dodge a guy coming at me on a motorbike and experiment in different ways, not the game telling me what button to hit and when. I also prefer to sit back and enjoy the cut scene not have to look at one part of the screen waiting for a button prompt to come up or Im dead. God of War on PSP especially annoyed me. I actually stopped playing it after 3-4 levels because these sequences were in the boss fights! For me it ruined what seemed to be a fun game and looks like Ninja Blade is also plagued with this rubbish ...what a shame.
