you like ninjas?? buy this game
this game has a nice way of progressing through it you dont have to do what the 3 lords want you to do you can just do what needs to be done in order for you to survive.
there are 5 difficulty seetings in which one isnt realy a difficuly setting just a strange way of playing.. they are easy, normal, hard, very had and crazy mode
very hard mode is alomost imposible to complete unless you have a complete grasp on the alchemy part of the game the bosses through the game on very hard only need to hit you once and its game over but in easy mode you will only need to hit the bosses around 3 times to beat them.
crazy mode is just a bit strange your character and all the npc's on the map become block people resembeling that of the icons from the mission creator.
the game gets better as you complete it more times on the different difficulty settings if you complete it once on any setting you unlock a thertre where you can watch any video you have seen in game so far. also by seeing different endings you can unlock different models for you to play as.
whilst out on any mission if you see a character you think you would like to be kill them and carry them out of the map they then become avalible as a character model to place over the original goh model.
any npc can be a model if you are bothered enough to put in up to 100 hours of gameplay. depending on how you fight wheater it be total full on attack or striking from the shadows influence you gamplay time dramaticlly steal kills are one hit but take a while to get into the right place to execute them as full on attacks are instant but can get you heavily damaged and be a waste of time.
ive clocked in more than 100 hours of gameplay and still have only scratched the surface of the alchemy ability and have colected all but 1 character model
good game gets repetative after you have completed the story 7 times
