Sega has confirmed the final guest villain coming to SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance as DLC, and it’s one of the stars of the Yakuza series.
Having previously confirmed that Joe Musashi will be joining the game, the final bad-guy is Yakuza’s Goro Majima. The villains stage has some of Sega’s biggest villainous names, such as Death Adder, and Dr. Eggman,
The digital deluxe edition is the way to go if you want to get Joe Musashi and Goro Majima in your version of the game, and that’s available on all formats, thankfully.
In our review, Lyle said: “I had such an incredible time with Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, and it’s hard to think of many negative aspects of the game at all. Some later stages (one in particular) are rather maze-like, and even with a map I struggled to find my way a few times which was a little frustrating. Not everyone will gel with the fairly brutal difficulty either, although a plethora of options you can customise from enemy health to respawn location after death will help with that hugely.
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is an exceptional action platformer that I truly never wanted to end. Its combat is spectacular from the word go, and only improves as you unlock more combo and Ninjutsu options. The exploration is incredibly compelling too, and gives you a reason to backtrack to older stages. Hopefully we don’t have to wait another fourteen years for another Shinobi game, because I’d play more right now if I had the chance.”
We gave the game full marks: a 10/10.
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is out now for PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X|S.
