Sure thing, here it goes:

So, get this. Dotemu and The Game Kitchen (yeah, those guys behind Blasphemous) are gearing up for the big unveil of NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound. Mark your calendars for July 31 if you’ve got a PlayStation or Switch. Exciting, right? Or maybe just mildly intriguing if you’re into ninjas.
Okay, picture this: Ryu Hayabusa has hightailed it to America because… reasons, family stuff, who knows. Cue chaos, the barrier between the human world and demon something-or-other just pops open, and—surprise, surprise—the demons decide NOW is the time to wreck the Hayabusa Village. Great timing, right?
Enter the hero—Kenji Mozu. Young ninja dude, trained by the best, but naturally in over his head. Swamped by demons and whatnot. Anyway, he decides, “Hey, why not team up with our sworn enemies, the Black Spider Clan? Makes total sense.” Classic plot twist, but hey, it’s ninja stuff.
Now, I know what you’re thinking—how’s the game play? It’s got that retro feel but polished, like, old-school meets new tech. (If that even makes sense.) Play as Kenji and the assassin Kumori. It’s all about Ninja Fusion—sounds fancy—basically unleashing epic powers. Honestly, takes me back to the good ol’ days, minus the bad graphics.
Oh, oh, and the visuals! Not just your usual pixelated stuff. It’s like they injected every pixel with nostalgia and, I dunno, magical fairy dust. Makes me wish I was a pixel. Looks killer, no lie.
Are you gonna master the ninja arts and save the world from demons? Who knows, but it sounds like a wild ride.
There it is, my messy take. Felt like I was racing through my brain, but hey, isn’t that part of the charm?
