To this day I am still playing it on an emulator, by far one of the best Stealth games I have ever played, if not the best. Deserves a proper remaster, it has a level editor, cinematic animations & stealth kills, one of the most insane movement techniques & strats in PS2, the ability to create custom bombs & potions, and a dynamically changing world around you. Feels way ahead of its era. Emulating it at ~50 FPS (as it usually is locked at 25-30fps) is a blessing, and makes the game a lot more enjoyable. Would be lovely to see it brought up to modern standards, without removing what makes it iconic.

Shinobido has to be one of the greatest games in the stealth categorie.For a PS2 game the IA and mechanics were ahead of it's time.The plot is very well written and quite fitting for how chaotic and bloody the feudal Japan was.Your actions influence directly on how the war effort of all 3 leaders goes.We desperately need more ninja games and good stealth games,Shinobido and Tenchu series will bring us these things and much more. Please,consider bringing us these amazing titles,I promise that people will get hooked up and will relive the greatest times of the Playstation 2 era.
This is one of the most underrated games i ever knew One of the best stealth games with a potential lore Creation of potions Cool scenarios And menage the feudal lord you make missions for is super cool This game deserve a good remake

É o melhor jogo de stealth pra ps2, ele é basicamente Sekiro antes de Sekiro existir, sem falar que a mecânica do grapling hook aqui é melhor do que em sequiro por ser livre. O sistema de alquimia que servia pra criar tanto itens mais comuns como curas, como itens mais extremos como invencibilidade ou duplicar itens. O modo de construção onde você tinha que colocar guardas e armadilhas ao redor da sua casa para você não ser roubado ou te ajudar a defender seu lar, e o editor de missões onde é basicamente o modo de construção porém expandido. Sem falar também que pra defender sua casa, você ganhava itens e guerreiros confome você tinha mais afinidade com algum senhor feudal. É um jogo com tanto conteúdo em uma época que não havia dlcs, ou ter de esperar um update. E ainda tinha o modo crazy ninja que era basicamente um modo onde trocavam os gráficos dos personagens do jogo principal para o gráfico dos personagens do modo construção, é hilário. Esse jogo merece muito um port, não precisa nem ser em hd, podia ser só de forma que todos pudessem jogar até quem tem computadores mais fracos. Iria comprar pra mim e dar uma cópia pra cada amigo meu, irmão, até pessoas online que mostrassem o minimo interesse pra mim. Esse jogo merece ser visto, ser jogado.
