The Revenge of Shinobi Classic

Good game which I loved back in the day. However the controls let it down. Double jump seems to randomly work or not work and the movement control is a bit wishy washy.

I was addicted to this game when I had it on my SEGA Genesis many years ago and as far the graphics and sound, they both match the original verbatim. However the controls are unresponsive to the point of causing my hand to hurt. Very disappointing. I am at work and hopefully when I get home and give my MOGA Pro controller a try it yields better results.

Double jump works fine, the same way it did in the original, all of the reviewers complaining about it are simply uninformed. Hit jump again at the very peak of your jump - not sightly before or sightly after, it has to be right at the peak. This is Shinobi, not Mario, it's going to take a bit of skill and practice. Eventually it'll just click and you'll be able to double jump every time. Have fun on the log jumping waterfall level, this purposely built mechanic keeps the game challenging :)

Joka GIMENEZ's review below is totally wrong. There is double jump. This is a straight emulation of the original game and the double jump always been tricky in this title. Needs practice to be performed each time. A shame to read this type of review...everything works, it's just a great game! Tip: for infinite skurikens, go to the options settings inside the game and set shurikens to zero for some seconds. This will turn into the infinite symbol.

DOUBLE JUMP. DOES. NOT. WORK. 99% OF THE TIME. FIX IT FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!!!!! Phew. Such a shame for it is a great game, played it to death in the 90's and never had a single issue with double-jumping and throwing shurikens. It is VITAL that it works every time, WHO has the time to spend perfecting it when one's being attacked from all sides?! PLEASE FIX IT IF YOU WANT 5 STARS.

Nice to see Sega invading mobile with the games of the past, but don't you think that the good games of the past need a graphic overhaul in order to compete with current games. I mean 2D wasn't bad in the past, but it is 2019, perhaps it is time make this game in third person view, since being HD is not enough. Third person and perhaps first person view need to be added to all sega games, if you want to win Gameloft as a mobile game developer. You can be better than Gameloft, if you modernize.

Took me about 10 minutes to get through the loading, settings and adds before i could even try the game. The double jump controls are clunky as ****. Not sure if it was like this in the original game but it just doesn't feel right.

NO DOUBLE JUMP!!! Considering it is key to defeat some bosses, makes the game quite poor! And the lack of response of the controls is inexcusable for a game where precision is key to finish it! Just a frustrating experience overall.... Will try again later and edit if they improve those flaws.

Holy cap does this game play bad! I'm playing it on my old s5 Samsung and it feels like it's moving through soft sand. response time is between 1/3 of a second to 1/4 of a second. I play this on a genesis emulator and it's perfect. Sega's own... which I was considering to buy at $3au is no longer a good purchase. I prefer to buy a can of drink instead. it's not about the money... it's a really really S H I T E port! buy a drink... this is an exercise of frustration.

Its still as enjoyable as when i played it in sega genesis. Took awhile to figure out double jump, but once i got it, the rest felt exactly the same. Fantastic port. Kind of miss the tactile feel of a controller.
