World War: Yaiba or AYEYAIAI.

I wanted to enjoy Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, I really did, but it didnÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËt let me. For a series that has been M.I.A. since 2008 that was founded on providing killer combat, YaibaÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËs gameplay boils down to simplified hack-and-slash gameplay that is unbalanced against the player. The Team NINJA and Keiji Inafune coloration has its high points with the cel-shaded art style, adding a wrinkle of charm that I didnÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËt expect to work, but it canÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËt mask all of its design flaws.

You play as a robotic cyborg samurai who is trying to find and kill Ryu Hayabusa during a zombie apocalypse set in Russia. Yaiba doesnÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËt take any time to set the stage for whatÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËs to come through a mindless prologue that details the protagonist's backstory in less than three minutes. The narrative is used primarily to transition from vista to vista to continue the action. I recommend not taking the story seriously and enjoy the quick-tme vignettes in between the action featuring the cel-shaded artstyle. The storyline plays a lot like comic book with each level unfolding like a new monthly issue with Yaiba spilling gallons of blood with every turn of the page. It sets up the game nicely for the gameplay to take over, which is where the entire product drops the ball on.
