Shinobi No Mono is a combat adventure where you set out to avenge your fallen lord.
The graphics are really nice, with some gorgeous sunlight effects and glinting swords. The combat is solid and it's both great fun and a workout to block the sword blows and strike at the perfect moment.
You also have a bow on your back and enemies can be taken out with an arrow to the head (which you can then retrieve afterwards). You also have some shuriken but they're not as lethal and are more of a way to slow enemies down.
You don't have to attack everyone head-on, if you like you can climb on rocks and buildings and sneak your way to the goal instead (but don't expect an easy ride even then, anyone can take you down at any moment, it's very like Dark Souls in that respect).
The soundtrack is very nice with the kind of music and sounds you'd expect from a game set in feudal Japan, it fits the visuals nicely.
In the video I complete the first stage (Aogashima Island) and get pretty far in the Fishing Village level after that too. There are a decent amount of levels on the selection board, so the game will keep you busy for a while (especially with the tough enemies, especially those bow jerks).
Shinobi No Mono is one of the best (and only) VR games set in feudal Japan, so if you have any interest in that theme at all, it's worth your money (the game is cheap too)!
If you ever wanted to be a samurai
best samurai game on the quest two
Glitchy needs work
This is really glitchy hands go into the rocks when climbing and enemy too.
Shinobi no mono
This is my favorite game so far. Great job!
Very very good game I highly recommend !
This game is great, several game hours await you! The game is super beautiful and very well worked for an oculus game, this is the best I could play on the oculus. There are several levels that are all different, each level has a different gameplay. The story is really interesting, with a beautiful ending that I let you discover.
I highly recommend this wonderful game. Good game to you.
One of the best Vr games I’ve ever playe
I love playing this game so much, the combat is so fun and being able to grab the npcs and having to hide bodies really adds to the immersion, getting cocky can also bite you in the butt while playing!
I love this game and you probally will too
10/10
