Frame-perfect blocks result in parries, certain combinations stun enemies as a set-up for visceral finishing moves, and varying sets of enemies keep the learning curve active-yet-manageable. However, the gradual incorporation of various combo moves and the ways in which these mechanics interact weave a sort of rhythm that’s easy to get lost in for several hours at a time. Hiroki starts with two very straightforward moves, light and heavy attacks, as well as the ability to block. In terms of gameplay, Trek to Yomi somehow manages to be both satisfyingly and deceptively simple - the one real system at play here is the combat. Borrowing heavily (and unabashedly) from the cinematic stylings of Akira Kurosawa, players assume the role of warrior-in-training Hiroki and embark on a revenge quest after bandits ravage his village and slay his mentor in cold blood. Trek to Yomi is a uniquely stylized side-scrolling hack-and-slash that’s sure to please your inner samurai. That said, it certainly sets a bar for combat-centric action games that many contemporary titles struggle to match.
Slick, high-speed combos against multiple enemies are the order of the day for the most part, in addition to wall-running parkour shenanigans and the occasional frustrating boss fight. Though “ninja” might have you convinced you’re getting into a stealth-action title, come geared up for a no-holds barred brawler.
#HIGH DARK NINJA PUZZLE AND DRAGON SERIES#
Following the exploits of ninja extraordinaire Ryu Hayabusa (and friends), the Ninja Gaiden series is a hallmark for action-adventure games that doesn’t compromise on difficulty - it’s far from the most hardcore action game you’ll ever get your hands on, but don’t expect it to hold your hand through the learning curve. In the event that you initially missed out on the hype, this neat, 3-game compilation spanning 2007’s Ninja Gaiden Sigma to 2013’s Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge is a must-play. While Dead By Daylight is straightforward enough to explain, the thrills and terrors of chasing your victims or fleeing from pursuit will keep you coming back for more. Survivors need to turn on generators in order to escape the area and win the match.
Killers are monstrous creatures (some from popular existing IP) that have supernatural abilities to help them in their quest to capture and sacrifice the four Survivors. Players can either play as the Killer or the Survivors. Games like Friday The 13th or Evil Dead: The Game are quickly compared to Dead By Daylight for following a similar formula. Dead By Daylight is one of the most popular asymmetrical multiplayer games currently available, and even though it possesses humble indie origins, it has quickly become a title to be reckoned with. This has long been a glaring omission on our list, and we are quite aware of it.
