You'll come to view situations in a different way: a foolish guard who's not really paying attention to the area is an easy obstacle to creep past, not a free stealth kill, for example.
You have a few advantages to make this easier - you can "see" sound, represented as blue waves that emit from noisy objects and actions, and you can easily tell when your ninja is hidden from sight by his silhouette.Īnalysis: This paradigm shift toward stealth as both the means and end is what defines Mark of the Ninja and makes it a great game. This is a stealth game where stealth is the goal rather than a tool to reach a goal. If you botch the stealth kill command or just slaughter enemies in direct combat, your ninja fails to manage this, leading to noise and a greatly reduced score. Proper stealth kills are quick, ending the enemy's life efficiently and silently. You're encouraged to deal with enemies non-lethally or, failing that, with a measure of humanity. While in most games you're encouraged to kill your way out of situations when stealth fails, here killing is, at best, a last resort. This is probably the most significant way that Mark of the Ninja deviates from the average stealth game. Even if they don't, you'll receive fewer points for dealing with situations in such a crude fashion. While you're fairly powerful in battle and can take one or two enemies head on, more than that will likely defeat you. You have a wide variety of techniques available, but it's important to remember that you're a classical ninja and not one of those teenage mutant varieties: your goal is stealth, not combat.
You can also use a gamepad, and in this case it's really the more comfortable choice. As an unnamed ninja, you'll use your weapons, skills and the powers of a mysterious tattoo to seek revenge for an attack on your clan.Ĭontrol your ninja with the keys to move and the mouse to aim your weapons, using other keys for the various ninja actions you'll need like taking cover and hiding bodies. Thankfully for those of us who aren't reptiles, there's Mark of the Ninja, a stealth action game developed by Klei Entertainment that provides ninja excitement without the heavy shell or outdated surfer lingo. Sure, every so often you see a rising star from Beverly Hills or something like that, but for the most part in this job it's go sewer or go home. If you're not a mutant turtle from New York chances are you're going to have a little trouble finding work. This might come as a surprise, but there's a lot of discrimination in the ninja industry, or the "ninjustry" as those of us in the 'biz call it.
