Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound

Out now on all formats 

The latest in the long-running martial arts franchise heads back to its two-dimensional roots for this latest offering – and it doesn’t disappoint in the slightest.

This time players assume control of fighter Kenji Mozu in a storyline set amid dark forces in feudal Japan.

With overtones of Prince of Persia, this hack- and-slash platformer will certainly please fans of the genre. It’s proved a definite tea break favourite at Soldier, where we’ve occasionally been held back from work by “just one more go” syndrome.
