The second part of Shinobi for Android

Some of you will probably remember with nostalgia the times when companies like Nintendo, SNK, Taito or SEGA brought us indescribable moments of fun on 8 and 16 bit consoles and arcade machines. Beat'em ups fans had a great time playing DragoNinja, Double Dragon or Shinobi and talking about locations that reminded us of movie masterpieces like Big Trouble in Little China.

Now that SEGA wants to continue re-issuing some of the classic titles from its catalog for Android and iPhone as part of the SEGA Forever collection (including titles of the likes of Sonic or Altered Beast), we can now once again enjoy The Revenge of Shinobi, the second Part of the successful saga of action games released in 1989.

The Shinobi Returns: He Wants Revenge

This series was launched in 1987 and over 10 games have been released on different platforms (arcade machines, Mega Drive, PS2...). It was based on the classic approach of fighting enemies while moving sideways in a 2D scenario. In The Revenge of Shinobi you take on the role of the ninja Joe Musashi who wants to deal with the criminal gang Neo Zeed with a very original storyline: they killed your mentor and kidnapped your girlfriend.

You'll explore different stages in the fight against the crime syndicate, travel through 80's scenarios and throw punches and kicks everywhere, from Japan to the United States, thanks to your ninjutsu techniques.

• Eight districts or levels with their associated bosses, just like any decent arcade game.
• Secret power-ups hidden throughout the game.
• Destroy your enemies with shurikens, bomb traps and special combos: Izakuchi, Kariu, Fushin and Mijin.
• Four levels of difficulty.
• Ability to save your games.

This game is free to download and you don't need to be online to play as it doesn't require an internet connection. However, you will have to put up with a few ads, which you can remove with a few bucks in-app purchase. There are no excuses not to download the APK of this classic action video game.

Requirements and further information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.4.
• The app offers in-app purchases.
