Ninja Blade Demo Playthrough

A cinematic action game for the Xbox 360, in a vein similar to Ninja Gaiden.
Overview
Gameplay
The gameplay in Ninja Blade consists of about thirty percent boss fights, thirty percent free roam, and thirty percent quick time events. When you're not fighting a gigantic boss or mashing on the face buttons in a QTE you're left with an adventure action game comparable to Ninja Gaiden or God of War. There are four weapons in the game a heavy sword, a katana, twin blades, and a large shuriken. The katana is your main weapon. It is the middle ground between the powerful but slow heavy sword, and the weak but fast twin blades. The heavy sword is used to break through walls and destroy enemy armor and shields. The twin blades are used as grappling hooks and have a variety of useful area attacks. In addition to the three main weapon you have a shuriken that you throw to use your ninjutsu. There are three ninjutsus, wind, fire, and lightning. All of these can be used to effect the environment along with attacking enemies. Every weapon and ninjutsu can be upgraded four times by collecting blood crystals that fall out of enemies.
