Making your way to the bottom might seem daunting at first, and your first couple times through you will find yourself dying and dying frequently. You start off with just your trusty katana and shurikens, but by completing various tasks you unlock new weapons, magic, and stat boosts that will help you through the tower. The variety is nice, and you have access to melee and ranged weapons in addition to bombs and magic. The arsenal the game provides you with to tackle the tower is impressive, and you have a lot of options to select from when deciding what to use to skewer your foes. The whole game is going for this retro feel, something it expertly captures in both presentation and gameplay. From the quirky comic that serves as a prologue and an instruction manual to the item descriptions to the booming narrator’s voice that taunts you each time you do something stupid, the game lets you know it’s having a great time killing you. While death is lurking around every corner and the story is relatively minimal, there is a sense of humor that still manages to come through. The search for this truth will bring you through a large tower, with traps and dangers waiting to spring up and help you even more accurately reflect your namesake. You play as the Crimson Ninja, a female ninja who at the start of the game is preparing to enter a place referred to as “the house of dead ninjas.” So right away we learn our protagonist is not great at pattern recognition, but that’s fine as she claims to be searching for something the other (dead) ninjas were not: the truth. This game is bloody, violent, difficult and a sadistic kind of fun that makes it hard to put down. Yet, while Super House of Dead Ninjas has its sights solely set on removing your head from your body in the bloodiest way possible, it’s only doing so because of how much it cares. Normally, rapid and repeated deaths is not a major selling point for anything, regardless if your product is a video game or hand sanitizer, as people tend to avoid things that are seeking to do them harm. Although, technically you’re in a tower, not a house, but I suppose I’ll give the game a pass since it got the important parts of ninja and dead correct. In Super House of Dead Ninjas, you play as a ninja and you’re going to die. Every now and again, you come across a game that is nice enough to give you exactly what it says on the tin.
