A Zenobi Shinobi clone, this late budget game brought nothing new to the Spectrum and takes shortcuts any Spectrum player should be familiar with - entirely monochrome graphics, pisspoor sound and repetitive mvements for end of section guardians.
Put all of that into the mix and this run 'n' shuriken game sounds quite unapealing but it does have 8 nicely drawn levels and offers a playable extra for fans of Shinobi and Shadow Dancer.

A mediocre budget clone of Shinobi. The Spectrum coin-op conversion wasn't brilliant, but it was altogether better than this rip-off. Don't bother and stick with the original or, even better, with the conversion from the sequel, Shadow Dancer.

Nothing special, just your average run-off-the-mill horizontal fighting game. But I can't say that i hadn't any fun with it: after getting used to controls you'll find that it is quite playable.

The main thing they could do better is checkpoint placement: you can drop a checkpoint crystal whenever you want, but it is often done when fighting, and then you're respawned without a chance to survive, right in front of some enemy.

Also, non-solid background could have less pixels, for better object visibility.

End bosses are totally uninspired, and more boring than fun.

But it is still a playable game. 2.8, so "average".
