In terms of presentation, Art of Vengeance is immaculate. Lizardcube already nailed the handdrawn look with its previous Sega reboots but it’s really gone above and beyond with this one. Sprites are brilliantly detailed and the environments are superb, the Lantern Festival being a notable highlight.

Following its already excellent work on Streets of Rage 4, Lizardcube injects another Sega series with new life in the utterly terrific Shinobi: Art of Vengeance.
