Shinobi & Nightshade

by JamesonEmpire

This month, barSILENCE is dashing across rooftops and slicing through the shadows with the pulse-pounding beats of Shinobi and Nightshade for the PlayStation 2.

2002’s Shinobi introduced us to the relentless, vengeance-driven Hotsuma, and 2004’s Nightshade passed the blade to Hibana, a fierce ninja with her own score to settle. With blazing speed, brutal difficulty, and a sleek near-future look, these stylish action games brought Sega’s classic ninja franchise into the 3D era.

Both games feature brilliant soundtracks that blend fierce electronic beats, rocking guitar riffs, and traditional Japanese instrumentation that perfectly capture the tension and thrill of modern ninja battle.

Prepare for an audio mission through shadows, steel, and synths in Tokyo!
