AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Ninja Gaiden Sigma

Like Shadow Dancer, you're a powerful ninja with a loyal companion (though this time, it's a falcon, not a dog) fighting through hordes of enemies, but with a much deeper combat system and a more cinematic flair.

85% Match

Ghostrunner

Trade the classic ninja aesthetic for a cyberpunk one, but retain the core of a lightning-fast, one-hit-kill protagonist navigating treacherous levels with acrobatic prowess and precise combat, much like Shadow Dancer's demanding action.

78% Match

Hollow Knight

While a Metroidvania, Hollow Knight offers the same sense of a lone, agile warrior facing overwhelming odds in a beautifully crafted world, with demanding combat and platforming that echo the challenge of classic arcade ninja games.
