Not long after E3, we got our hands on the hot trailer for an XBLA summer title called Mark of the Ninja. Check it out below:
From Klei Entertainment, Mark of the Ninja is a unique 2D stealth platformer. It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of stealth in a platformer, and from the looks of the trailer, it looks like it relies a lot on darkness to maintain stealth. (Think like The Darkness franchise.)
According to the press release, “you are a ninja who bears the mark – a tattoo whose ink bestows heightened sense, but at a terrible cost.”
It looks fairly intuitive to control and the violence is indeed a bit bloody, but in a cartoonish way.
