FTS: It’s Time to Shine Light on Shadow of the Ninja Reborn: Release Date Confirmed for August 29!
Assassin's Creed Shadows: The Second Coming of... Tenchu?
When I initially saw Assassin's Creed Shadows, I immediately got Tenchu vibes, and... my fingers are crossed that it's the second coming. (Yes, I'm a huge Tenchu fan!)
When it comes to Naoe, I hope that she's able to scale roof tops with amazing agility and use grappling hooks and different tools that give me that old Tenchu feel. I know it's not Tenchu, but man... I look forward to some Tenchu-like action in an all-new way. I don't doubt for a minute that there will be plenty of depth in this game.
The beautiful thing about there being two characters is that you get two different experiences in regards to gameplay. Ofcourse both character's wield blades, but they're wielded in different ways. Naoe is from the birthplay of Shinobi, and the legendary samurai... Yasuke comes to life to wield his skills in this game from the ground. Naoe can make her way around barriers, Yasuke has to make his way through. Makes sense though because he's a skilled sword fighter and the combat is meant to be head to head.
I look forward to the shinobi action, but... I look forward to Yasuke's story more to see how things play out for him in the grand scheme of the adventure. Ofcourse, I look forward to the overall adventure with both characters, but he was an actual African warrior who served Lord Oba Nobunaga during Japan's Sengoku period. Naoe is the fictional daughter of a real-life shinobi named Fujibayashi Nagato (one of the greatest known shinobi in Japanese history). Does this game truly have to be the second coming of Tenchu in order to be appreciated by the likes of me, not at all... but I look forward to playing.
