The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors, named The Ninja Warriors Once Again in Japan, is a side-scrolling hack 'n slash action game originally released in 2019 for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. It was later released for PC through Steam in July 2023.
This game is a remake of The Ninja Warriors Again for the Super Nintendo, featuring the same levels and gameplay with a few new additions.
Changes and Additions[]
Ninja Saviors is a full remake of the original SNES title, with all sprites and backgrounds redrawn and the playing field being enlarged to fit a 16:9 screen ratio, becoming closer to the Arcade game. The gameplay mechanics remain the same but they also got expanded, with all characters receiving new moves, some of which consume power, and juggling being given more emphasis this time. The main addition of this version is a local two player co-op mode, with both players sharing the same lifebar and power meter.
The three characters from the SNES version, Kunoichi, Ninja and Kamaitachi, return, with two new characters, Yaksha and Raiden, being added to this version. Both new characters need to be unlocked by beating the game once. This version also makes the Kunoichi and Monkey enemies available at the same time regardless of the region, and adds a new drone-like enemy.
The soundtrack features a rearrangement of the SNES soundtrack, as well as the original Arcade soundtrack composed by Zuntata, which can be unlocked by beating the game and enabled in the options.
