Within The Blade - Review | I Dream of Indie

[@IDreamofIndie]

Will you be checking out Within the Blade? Thanks for watching Indie Warriors!!

[@IDreamofIndie]

Glad you enjoyed!!!

[@IDreamofIndie]

Actually you kind of can! And the game even has a joke trophy related to that!

[@IDreamofIndie]

Haha yes! That takes me back but the game was awesome!!

[@IDreamofIndie]

Hahaha

[@sofaking1180]

I quite like the game precisely because you really have to practice to become better skilled at the game. It's one of those games with a rather high skill ceiling imo. On one hand I can see where a lot of people would give up on the game due to some of the moves and platforming needing a more intricate/practiced touch. At the same time though, once you do get better at traversing both the levels and some of the special moves (moves with which you earn in a fun rpg system), the game all of the sudden becomes incredibly rewarding in somewhat of the same ways mastering certain skills and levels did in Super Meatboy.

[@IDreamofIndie]

That's totally fair! I just personally thought it felt clunky which made the overall experience not so fun. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Saw this in the PS4-store today and it looked cool.....but my "blind buy"-powers have failed me ALOT lately :D Therefor I'll always check reviews for any games, and since I love indie-gaming I'm so glad that you have the passion (and love) to make review videoes for these kind of games :) I''ll wait for sale or updates for this one I'm afraid. PS: I'm currently gaming Cyber Shadow,and man.....you got to love to die to enjoy that game :D ...or maybe I'm just a really bad gamer :D It's hard, but so much fun. When a game has those two elements, I'm in :)

[@IDreamofIndie]

Haha yes, Cyber Shadow is tough as nails but also fair! It's a fantastic game that feels rewarding!

[@marloncarrero6575]

It’s an ok game, I’m playing it right now. If you don’t have Cyber Shadow or The Messenger, you’re better off with those, but if you want even more on top of that, you’ll have a good time with this.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Fair enough glad you are enjoying!

[@tashondelsol1234]

I dont have either of those games but im in love with this games artstyle..

[@szymonjakubowski6429]

Joe! Better than Cyber Shadow or Messenger? :)

[@IDreamofIndie]

Yeah not quite sadly!

[@FlowerAngelRave]

This seems only decent for those who want a ninja game and don’t have many other options, and probably best to wait for some kind of sale. I would say playing The Messenger or Cyber Shadow instead is a better option; a lot more bang for your buck with the quality. Thanks for the review.

[@IDreamofIndie]

That's pretty much how I felt. You have better options for not that much more money.

[@rottenburrito7277]

This game was a surprise for me. I only bought this game because it was on sale and had $5 left in my wallet. Took me a while to get the hang of the mechanics and gameplay but once I figured it out it's fun.

[@rangoononline]

I love games like this, but the presentation and gameplay here seem lackluster. The Messenger kinda does all this and more for me. Also, this really makes me wanna play some Ninja Spirit on the PC Engine. Would be nice if Nintendo could get those games on the e-shop, but I digress. Great review, but I'm gonna pass on this one.

[@IDreamofIndie]

That's kinda how I felt. You have way better options like the one you mentioned.

[@Lantern_Jack]

I had higher hopes for this game sadly it seems like those expectations won't be met. Well I still got it...Hope I enjoy it all the same. Other reviews praised this game. I know reviews/opinions are subjective. All the same I thank you for your review and always hold all reviews good or bad into consideration when I make my game purchases. 👍

[@IDreamofIndie]

Of course! Maybe you will end up enjoying it, just wasn't my cup of tea.

[@CCoyle-fs3ym]

This game reminded me that I'd love to see a new title in the Tenchu series.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Yeah for sure it would be awesome to get a new Tenchu. Always enjoyed those all the way back to PSX.

[@SamuraiDreamer]

This game was on my radar since it's realease, when his name was Shinobi Pixel Mamoru. It was on early acces on steam so i decided to wait the full release. So, after years i found it on the ps store, because i prefer to play there, on sale and i was almost to buy it but i prefered to watch some reviews first. And i'm really disappoint, the art and graphics are cool but in every gameplay that i saw i see that the controls lack in precisions, there's almost literally no stealth at all and it could be really frustrating for me. Sadly, i have to skip, dont want to get frustrated by bad commands.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Seems fair enough thanks for checking out the video!

[@jr698]

Great review. Gives me those katana zero vibes a bit 👍

[@nomercy5422]

U got to love ninjas to love this game

[@IDreamofIndie]

Thanks for watching!

[@NickLionheart]

The game is bodacious!) Im glad to say a friend of mine made it)

[@IDreamofIndie]

Cool!

[@edwardadastra1526]

tell your friend that this is seriously one of my favorite ninja games ever and i replay it constantly!

[@NickLionheart]

@@edwardadastra1526 then you should search for secret bloody weapons: secret sword and secret sickle)

[@NickLionheart]

@@edwardadastra1526 there is two secret crimson weapons inside the game, sword and sickle;)

[@Umbra_Witcher]

i was kind of like you, really excited for this, and then i watched/read reviews, and this one was the last straw. going to skip.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Sorry to hear Umbra but no shortage of games to play!!

[@Umbra_Witcher]

@@charlieluciano2957 thanks for the kind words charlie! hope we disagree again in the future.

[@cpm9747]

Light on story, poor translation, I'll pass.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Sorry this one wasn't for you CP (Or me for that matter!)
