Kombo TGS 2008: Ninja Blade Preview

Kombo writes: "This game was playable for the first time ever at this year's Tokyo Game Show and I was curious to know how good it was to play.

The demo opens with a shrouded ninja falling from the sky, garbed in a face mask and cloak. As he falls to the urban metropolis below, he cuts and slashes monster-like enemies in the air before landing on the top of a skyscraper. These events are put in motion via QTE and the player must press a few buttons at certain times to allow this scene to happen. He defeats a large beast and zip-wires down to a lower skyscraper, again by QTE. The player is now in control of the hooded character and a handful of monsters run towards him. X controls melee weapons and Y deals a more powerful attack. B is responsible for ranged magic damage (of which there are three types) and A is jump."
