You're a ninja tablet, with a cutesy face, an appetite for righting the wrongs and you're on a mission.
Kunai is the next great Metroidvania on Switch. It could easily stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Ori and the Blind Forest and The Messenger, especially in how effortless moving around and traversing the world is. This is as close to a must-play as I can recommend. You're a tablet who plays like Spider-Man, and everything looks beautiful. Kunai is excellent.
With the abundance of Metroidvania clones on the E-Shop at the moment it is very hard to get yourself noticed. Will Kunai shine or will it yet be another game
Classic components come together to form a stellar slashing platformer, with the titular kunai providing a particularly high note.
Kunai is a Metroidvania adventure best explored through ninja-tier parkour and best survived with razor-sharp combat reflexes.
KUNAI is a platforming video game that is quite interesting. Early on as you go through this side-scrolling game with its certain minimalistic flourish, one of the tools you obtain is a katana. You’d be forgiven for thinking this would be just a bog-standard weapon, but in KUNAI, you can use it to deflect bullets.
Killer app.If Luddites required an excuse to eye the forward march of technology with apprehension, they need look no [...]
Maybe it's a little unfair to propose that Kunai's weaker spots are a result of the high bar games preceding it have set. There's commendation to offer with the way TurtleBlaze manage to build off of their stripped-back visual aesthetic. Providing a sense of movement that, while not deep, does the job in making one's route satisfying to control, even experiment with should you feel daring. Confident you won't underestimate the importance of keeping your character's health in check. When the combat gets to that point particularly -- and the move-set works in tandem with the well-designed bosses and more-linear sections to traverse, even struggle through -- it's a fun, if brief, adventure to trudge through. The game may stumble on occasion from a lack of earlier detailing, with narrative and backdrop never feeling best-served to those looking for a bit more story. But the free-flowing confidence and care-free nature baked into Kunai above all still marks this down as a good (not great) starting point for Metroidvania fans going forth into the new decade.
Kunai is an expressive, stylish and retro-tinged metroidvania that kept me engaged the entire time I played it. The feeling of slowly mastering the rope-kunai and being able to flawlessly swing around environments and flank enemies was incredibly satisfying. I only wish the rest of your abilities in the game had the same kind of skill ceiling to reach, because without any cool reasons to deflect bullets, why bother having the ability to do so in the first place?
Kunai does plenty of things right, but doesn't really try to stand out from the crowd in any way.
A competent Metroidvania with some attractive visuals and fun gimmicks, but they can’t hide the fact that the game underneath is far less inspired than it first seems.
Get into the swing of things with this ninja-flavored indie.
Kunai is a crazy fun mixture of parkour platforming and intense combat!
