Ninja Gaiden Black Recompiled

Ninja Gaiden Black

Score for the original game edition, not the port’s performance.

A demanding action game in which ninja Ryu Hayabusa fights through interconnected stages with swords, shuriken and ninpo, built around fast, high-difficulty combat. A static recompilation of the Xbox release into native Windows and Linux builds whose own Vulkan renderer takes over the game's Direct3D calls, adding up to 10x render resolution, ultrawide support and rebindable keyboard, mouse and controller input at a steady 60 fps on modest hardware including the Steam Deck.
