In the global gaming industry today, there are numerous factors that determine the success of any project.
Game quality is just one aspect; however, game character design, gameplay experience, and pricing can also dramatically transform a potential blockbuster into a failed product. Moreover, marketing strategies play a crucial role, as demonstrated by how Black Myth: Wukong consistently captured attention even before its release last year.
Recently, a game publisher unexpectedly released a “reverse” game that has taken the industry by storm. Without much fanfare, a AAA blockbuster titled NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black has just made its debut on Steam a few hours ago.
This game is titled NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black. As mentioned earlier, Koei Tecmo did not provide any prior announcements for fans of this famous series, leading many to have mixed feelings, as this seems to be a new marketing strategy unlike any other employed by this publisher.
On a foundational level, NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black is rebuilt on the Unreal Engine 5 platform, maximizing the quality it can offer. It has not taken long for initial gameplay reviews to be overwhelmingly positive on Steam. However, there are still a few aspects that concern fans. Firstly, the price is around 1 million VND, which is not too high for an AAA blockbuster, but it is also not negligible. Additionally, the game’s system requirements are quite demanding. The most challenging aspect remains the camera, which lacks a lock-on target feature, making battles more difficult for players.
However, despite these drawbacks, NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black is still a high-quality product for the beginning of 2025.
