Mark of the Ninja: Remastered. Coming soon

Mark of the Ninja: Remastered is the off course the remastered and new action stealth game developed by ‘Klei Entertainment‘. Mark of the Ninja: Remastered is coming out on the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC the 9th of October 2018.

The story in Mark of the Ninja: Remastered is basically that a unnamed ninja is given a special ink tattoo which grants him increased senses and reflexes, which isn’t worth it if you ask us. The downside of the tattoo is that the bearer will eventually descend into madness and get deranged. A heavily armed group show up at the dojo and attacks. The unnamed ninja is awoken by a female ninja named Rio, who when he gets up saves multiple members. Eventually both Rio and the ninja are ordered to take revenge for the attack. So a revenge story with tattoos.

So since it’s remastered, gamers can expect 4k resolution on supported hardware. Also expect cinematic scenes to also be in 4k too. There is 5.1 surround mix for the whole game. Make sure you put your headsets on. Additional information says that the in game audio uses high quality compression and that the cinematic audio has been completely redone. So this is something for players to experience personally themselves.

Now less about the little obvious stuff and what’s new about Mark of the Ninja: Remastered? Well the biggest thing is the new special edition DLC called Dosan’s tale which allows players to control Dosan. In this content there is new and unique items. Also a additional story level and unlocked developer commentary. What’s also new we believe is that there is a new game plus which allows players to go again, taking on new challenges and options. Each level in the whole game has collectibles, unlockable abilities and optional missions. 

We checked out some gameplay of Mark of the Ninja: Remastered and it looks very good so far. The animations of the unnamed ninja is very good. We like how mobile the main character is. You can use the environment to your advantage, you can make enemies panic. There are executions, there are time freeze moments allowing for targeted throws and more. The action is smooth and things look good. There are a lot of options and players can choose to go through without killing anyone or just straight up executing all.

Overall Mark of the Ninja: Remastered looks like a very good game. We like games that combine both action and stealth and grants the choice and rewards both. The developers ‘Klei entertainment’ did a good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker are not looking forward to this game as we haven’t seen anything that makes us want to play Mark of the Ninja: Remastered but we see that it’s definitely a good game. Now Mark of the Ninja: Remastered may have been improved but it’s still nothing compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’
