The game’s lead character is Kuro, a man who is on an arduous task of being a Shadow Blade. In the process, he has to seek the teachings of the last remaining ninja master. With Dead Mage claiming intuitive touch controls and a lot of other ninja-ish weapons to obtain and learn, the game should be challenging and fun to cut through or sneak past enemies, jump up walls and platforms, avoid traps and generally be a bad-ass.
As of now, no release date has been given, but judging by the trailer, I say it isn’t too far off. Keep checking this site for more updates on Shadow Blade. If it plays, looks and sounds as smooth as the trailer suggest, then I personally will be all over it when the time comes.
