The verdict
A stylish, Tenchu-like shadow-teleport stealth game with great co-op, but repetitive, janky and checkpoint-only. Skip it if you want depth, polish or manual saves.
Great for
Patient stealth fans and co-op duos who like ninja fantasy and a stylized look
Main risk
Repetitive, janky gameplay with checkpoint-only saves that force long replays

Repetitive gameplay, little variety
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 negative reviews
“The game never really evolves beyond "Wait for enemy to be alone, make shadow behind enemy, blink behind enemy, kill enemy with long drawn out stilted animation, rinse repeat 200 times per mission."”
