Oniken (Switch)

This game is awesome. It's modeled after the 8-Bit games from the NES era. It was styled after the likes of Ninja Gaiden, Strider, Shatterhand, Kabuki Quantum Fighter, Vice: Project Doom with a touch of Contra.

You are Zaku (who looks to be inspired by Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star), a legendary mercenary ninja with an unknown past who joins up with a resistance to put a stop to the Oniken.

The game controls really good and the game does it's job well with it's overall presentation with some cool looking cutscenes that gives off the Ninja Gaiden vibes.

You run, jump, hack n' slash, toss grenades (very useful sub weapn!) climb bars/pipes, ride vehicles while shooting. You also have a mechanic where you can power up your sword for more damage/range and should you choose to, you can use a temporary berzerk state for temporary invincibility that also powers you up. You'll revert back to your normal sword if you decide to do it. It's usually worth to go in the berzerk state provide you don't get hit in the first place when you get the sword power up.

Game is a little on the short side and it can be challenging in some parts but very satisfying when you pass them. It has some nice unlockable extras after you beat the game. The game was so good I had an urge to play it again.

I recommend it!
