Posted by James Bowden When I think of Ninja Gaiden I think of flow. Difficulty, too, of course but I recall a combat system that rewards timing, precision and reactionary movements to deal with the current enemy mix on screen. Ninja Gaiden, to me at least, is a series about owning a battle through smarts and reactions. Although, obviously, Yaiba isnt a typical Ninja Gaiden (which is obvious from a mere glance), it does carry the moniker in subtitle, and so one would expect many tenets of the series to remain.

The once proud Ninja Gaiden falters again with unbalanced zombie hack-n-slash spin-off Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. Spoiler alert: the Z stands for "zombies."

The first of Tomonobu Itagakis Ninja Gaiden games was defined by its counterattack. Activated by blocking and then pressing an attack button the moment an enemy blow connected, it powered a game that required careful play and insisted you respect your opponent, punishing mistakes severely. In the process, it set a new high bar for its genre. Ninja Gaidens been going downhill ever since, and it says much about how inexorably bound this series is to the law of diminishing returns that its latest entrys defining mechanic asks for no timing, precision or respect for your opponent. Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is built on the QTE.

In YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z, players battle fierce zombies as YAIBA, a cyborg ninja brought back to life with cyber-technology, who will do anything for revenge. Brandishing his deadly ninja sword and the mecha weapons integrated into his cyborg arm, he slaughters zombies with brutal, over-the-top abandon. Step into a stylized living comic book where stunning graphics depict a world gone mad overflowing with hordes of the undead. Only YAIBA's drive for retribution and willingness to use any means necessary to get the job done can stop the countless waves of zombies in his path. YAIBA's lust to kill is insatiable as he mercilessly slices through masses of enemies with his sword, or the array of weapons accessible via his cyborg arm. Miss Monday is Yaiba's virtual escort and is vital to his survival. However, not even she is safe from his brash, unbridled sarcasm. YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z comes from the two teams behind the most famous ninja and zombie videogame creations as Team NINJA and legendary producer Keiji Inafune team up to create a new experience. The world of the ninja meets undead warriors, cybernetic weapons, comic books, in an entirely new IP that draws from the NINJA GAIDEN franchise with a host of bold, new features including an original storyline and style of gameplay. Always intense, never boring, YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z is violent, creative, and daringly different. Sharpen your sword, fire up your cyborg arm, and prepare to GET SOME!

Not only is Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z a Ninja Gaiden game in name only, but it's so bad with numerous camera, control, and other problems it's a game in name only as well.

Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is an unforgivably sloppy game. One that, even if it wasn't broken, would still be poor.

NowGamer writes: "Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is fun 80% of the time and utterly loathesome the other 20%, the difficulty spikes goring what could have been a light, frothy, tongue-in-cheek zombie hack and slasher."
