It’s beautifully presented (I haven’t touched upon them, but I love the cutscenes – I’m a cutscenes whore), the flexible approach to each level and it’s difficulty is spot on and overall, Mark of the Ninja Remastered is perfectly at home on the Nintendo Switch – be it in portable mode on docked.

It really is a great stealth game but omitting the ‘stealth’, it really is a great game full stop. I started out with praise for Mark of the Ninja Remastered, and I’ll finish on it too. Surprisingly this doesn’t ruin the fun or the difficulty and allows you to be a bit more strategic.

This isn’t a tooltip or a dotted line to follow for the best outcome – rather, it gives you an indication where an alarm system is and how/or why guards are seeing you so often.

Mark of the Ninja Remastered isn’t like that and at times, gives you a little nudge on how to do a level. The latter makes sense and if you are familiar with my NES Online comments, games of yesteryear were quite unforgiving.

Like that term, I hate but will one day embrace: metro-vania or the other one: perma-death. It’s quite common for game developers to make these sort of games pretty difficult. Levels can are horizontal or vertical scrolling as you attempt to scale the enemy complex through a series of tunnels, climbing rooftops and jumping from plant pot to plant pot. Not recommended and again, if you’re a ninja, you need to be a bit more subtle. A gentle nudge on how to be an assassinĪs above, you can sneak around causing distractions or you can attempt to go balls out and attack the enemy head-on. Mark of the Ninja Remastered is a 2D game so not the same open-world like the aforementioned Hitman, but it does give you free rein to some degree on how to approach the level. Like another well-known stealth game, Hitman, there are multiple ways to approach the level. And to hide his weapons that I kill people with. That’s why he wears a black suit to cover up. He’s pretty easy to spot though as he is covered in a mystic tattoo – the mark of the ninja – that gives him power, slightly paranoid, good with numbers and also make him stand out like a horse in a wetsuit. You don’t have a name because if it was disclosed and people found out that you play as an insurance broker named Colin, 1) it doesn’t sound as dynamic (sorry, Colin) and 2) if you did actually know Colin’s name, he would kill you. The plot is simples: you’re a ninja and you implement stealth to overthrow the baddies. But expect a fight and your ninja isn’t exactly a tank. Alternatively, if you’re a knucklehead, you could go through them. From throwing a ninja star at a light or unleashing a monkey playing the tambourine (that doesn’t exist), you can distract your would-be-killers and then sneak under, over or around them. The ninja has an arsenal of trickery up their sleeves that can cause a distraction. There aren’t any alarms you’ll trigger off going through the lit-up areas but it will make you visible and in reality, you don’t want to be seen.

An ickle bit like Serial Cleaner, methinks. You navigate your ninja through the darkness, avoiding the sight of the guards and their guard dogs. Focusing on their stealth abilities, Mark of the Ninja Remastered means that you need to hide in the shadows and, ideally, get through each stage without being seen. However, that wasn’t their primary goal as they were masters of stealth, espionage and good at watercolours. The controls are great, the difficulty quite naturally progresses at the right pace, it looks good and best of all – I‘m a ninja. While I can put it down, I’d happily play-through this if I have a few hours spare. Is Mark of the Ninja Remastered any good? Hell yeah, it is.
