Overview

Step into a living comic book in this new take on the Ninja Gaiden series. Brandishing his ninja sword and the mecha weapons in his cyber arm, Yaiba slaughters zombies with brutal, over-the-top abandon. Will you slice enemies to pieces, crush them with Yaiba's cyborg arm or just rip off a zombie’s arms to use as nunchucks?

Yaiba succeeds admirably because it does what so few intentionally "so bad it's good" games do: It makes everything work.” - Economical, swift action. - Get to play as the token video game nemesis. - Never takes itself seriously except when it needs to work as a game. - Normal difficulty can be overly challenging at times. - Lack of enemy variety and simple combat may turn off action game aficionados. - Infrequent glitches. “An Act of Gonzo.” Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z names each of its seven levels, and its last one pulls double duty as both a challenge title and a mission statement.

If you have the option, definitely play Yaiba on PC. The textures, resolution, and framerate are noticeably better and worth the extra few days’ wait.

Yaiba is weird. It’s dumb, insanely frustrating and to be honest, kind of insulting. However, regrettably, it’s also a bit fun. Tucked within its numerous levels of idiocy is a smart but simple combat system that rewards aggression and restraint in equal measures.
