The nasty, nasty weapons of Ninja Blade
Blood 𝓡and shurikens fly in our EXCLUSIVE breakdown of the 360's next gorefest

Ninjas, blood and really, really sharp weapons. No matter how many games and consoles pass us by over the years, these three things will never grow old. So despite the fact that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft has already given us Ninja Gaiden II and Tenchu Z,ꦦ we’re ready and willing for more.
Can the upcoming Ninja Blade deliver? Scheduled for release exclusively on Xbox 360 sometime in 2009, the game promises to include everything you’d expect - lots of gore, lots of magic, lots of stylish move𝓀s – as well as some stuff you might not expect like grenades, tanks, modern Tokyo settingꦗs and an apocalyptic zombie virus.
But the real draw of any ninja title, of course, are those bloody sharp weapons. Today💖, we’re bringing you an exclusive first look at the game’s swords, sorcery and enemy-exploding abilities. Check them out below and then share your thoughts on Ninja Blade’s potential in our comments.
Editor’s Note: Weapon and ability descriptions provided by Microsoft.
As you progress in the game, you will gain three different swords. As you defeat enemies, you can collect the red Bloo🌸d Crystals that fall from their bodies and use the energy in these crystals to strengthen your swords. These upgrades will change the weapon design, fortify🌟 attack levels, and learn new moves and combos.
Oni-Slayer Blade
This sword balances poꦿwer with speed. It is your default weapon.
Weekly digestsಞ, tales from theꦆ communities you love, and more
Twin Falcon Knives
These dual short s♒words allow for quick, flowing combos, but their attacꦰks are not strong.
Stonerender Sword
Slow and heavy, this gr♎eat sword’s devastating attacks break through armor.
Ninja maste꧂rs can channel their chi to manipulate the world around them. This abi꧂lity is called Ninjutsu. As you progress, you will learn three forms of Ninjutsu, each harnessed within a special shuriken.
Cyclone Shuriken
Control the power of the wind.
Attack: Unleash a blast of air﷽ that tears into enemies and knocks them off their feet.
Environmental Use: Throw the Cyclone S🦄huriken at flames to extinguish them so you can🍒 pass through burning areas safely.
Flame Shuriken
Control the power of fire.
Attack: Toss a ▨flaming shuriken at enemies that explodes upon imp𒁃act.
Environmental Use: Throw the Flame Shuriken at plant-type barriers to destroy them and clear your path, or🐼 throw it at plant-type enemies to set them on fire and light up dark rooms.
Lightning Shuriken
Control the power of electricity.
Attack: Summon a 🎃lightning storm that auto-targets enemies, or create a wall of💦 static energy that blocks projectiles and shocks anyone who touches it.
Environmental Use: Throw the Lightning Shuriken at water to charge its surface andꦚಌ shock any enemies within its range. Be careful not to touch the charged surface - you are susceptible to electrical attacks as well.
