A game by Nebula Game Studios for Xbox 360, originally released in 2012.
Ninja Exorcist: Episode 1 is a stealth action game with RPG elements starring a ninja named Daigo who must uncover his forgotten past and kill a load of bad guys and monsters while doing it. The game offers a number of interesting design concepts, but struggles a bit in seeing them executed to support the greater ninja experience.
Our ninja hero begins his quest with a sword and a number of combo attacks that are initiated by tapping the ATTACK button. Combos can extend to a maximum of 4 hits, but the player is free to interrupt them at any time. In addition to straightforward attacks, the player may also press diagonally up or down to execute high and low attacks and string them together into combos as well. The player is able to mix high, medium, and low attacks in any combination he wishes and use them in the air as well. The ninja can also knock enemies backward with his attacks, sending them into other enemies or tumbling off of ledges where they will resume fighting on a lower platform, or die painfully in a bed of spikes.
