I would rate it higher, but with these persistent issues, the 2 stars will stay, I’m afraid. 🥲 ### 3/5 — Cool game *2022-04-12, version 4.1.3* sega games re cool ### 4/5 — This game is good *2020-10-25, version 4.1.0* This game is good and I enjoy it but if I could, could I suggest putting shinobi 3: return of the ninja master on here? You may not happen to see this but if you do then I shall respect what response you give me. ### 2/5 — App crashes and save feature doesn’t work (also crashes the app) *2020-06-06, version 4.1.0* I have to play through the whole game because cloud save crashes the app, but also crashes when I get to stage 7/8!! ### 2/5 — Not what we want *2020-02-24, version 4.1.0* Bring back Shinobi III!!!!! ### 4/5 — Sound Problems *2019-11-26, version 2.2.0* At random parts of rounds, the audio sounds blocky (even more than usual) ### 2/5 — Good game, still upset *2019-08-29, version 2.2.0* I paid for this game and all of a sudden there are ads on it... not happy ### 5/5 — Awesome Game SEGA! *2019-05-26, version 2.0.0* This game probably tops any game Nintendo could ever dream of making! ### 5/5 — One of SEGAs best games *2019-03-14, version 2.0.0* Iconic and still holds up ### 5/5 — old school cool *2019-01-10, version 1.2.2* s%#t takes me way back to the 90’s when I stood my first sega genisis, I almost got caught too thank god was like a ninja over them fences, holla’ shinobi 😇 ### 5/5 — Classic Game *2018-11-17, version 1.2.2* The classic returns to you iOS device! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2018-08-09, version 1.1.2* It's nostalgic. I finished it about 20 years ago when I was a kid! What about shinobi 3 and other amazing games? Do you have any plan for shinobi 3? shinobi 3 is the best game ever made for mega drive, no doubt about it, no argument about it, any disagreement is not acceptable! ### 5/5 — Save trouble *2018-07-15, version 1.1.2* Can anybody help me with the Gamecenter log in process? I keep getting errors from logging into Gamecenter which means I’m not able to save my game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ripped off *2023-06-14* Purchased this game previously but it won’t let me restore my purchase, despite the app being in my purchase history. I wouldn’t waste money buying any sega games on iOS since they’ll just update the game and erase your purchases. CROOKS!! ### 1/5 — Data collection *2021-10-12, version 4.1.3* Read the disclosure at the beginning. This is spyware. It collects a lot of personal and device information and sells it to 3rd parties ### 1/5 — Crap. *2021-08-22, version 4.1.3* Can’t save game. Won’t let me log into Game Center. Which means as a developer that your app is completely flawed and bugged. Requested a refund from apple. Fix your crap. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2021-03-21, version 4.1.3* I will not recommend to any other gamers it’s like trying to control a brick on a pan the ninja is to slow and it has to many ads ### 1/5 — Paid for and free and saves won't work *2020-08-14, version 4.1.0* I paid to have no ads and whenever I try to save it shuts the game down. When you load the state it just takes you to the begining. What did I pay for exactly? ### 1/5 — Save crashes / can’t load save *2020-07-16, version 4.1.0* Ads ads ads! I almost paid for the ad free version from the start, but I decided to test the game out first, thank god I did! (Even though it’s only like 2 bucks) I play through and save... watch an ad and crash every time, but only after i watch the whole ad does the game decide to crash. Then I reload the game, I can see my saved game - I get the message must log into Game Center, I log in successfully but every time it doesn’t load my game and forces me to start fresh. ### 1/5 — Fix the Save glitch please ! Very unhappy PAID customer .. *2020-06-10, version 4.1.0* App crashes when I try to save which is very frustrating because I also paid for this game :( please fix this ...thanks . ### 1/5 — Worthless *2018-06-16, version 1.1.2* Every time I hit “Start”, I get dumped into a promo version of ‘Final Fantasy’ that it won’t let me out of. After 6 tries, I haven’t been able to play one second of the game yet...smh ### 1/5 — Gameplay unplayable *2017-12-11, version 1.1.2* There are some parts in the game that require the player to use a double jump, except the feature is broken & only works 25% of the time. The isn’t hard because it’s challenging. It’s difficult because it’s cheap. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2017-09-29, version 1.1.1* The framerate constantly drops and the "suicide" ninjutsu move causes the game to freeze. Nobody should pay for this *2 or 3 updates later and the self destruct ninjutsu still cause the game to freeze sometimes* ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s challenging but fun *2023-01-30, version 4.1.3* Even the name Shinobi sounds great. I love the game, but when it first came out it was too difficult for my brothers and I. Yet, all in all, it’s a great and awesome game. ### 5/5 — Cool👍 *2022-03-26, version 4.1.3* I like how the intro of the ninja blocking the Shuriken it was awesome 🤩 ### 5/5 — We need more SEGA classics *2021-07-23, version 4.1.3* This is a great game. I’d love to see the sequel available. Please bring more SEGA games to the iTunes. Streets of rage 3, ToeJam & Earl, and Outrun. ### 5/5 — I like this *2020-10-15, version 4.1.0* This game is beautiful if out you wolf child I’m all in ### 5/5 — It is pretty good *2020-07-07, version 4.1.0* I like it so much it is good for a free game! ### 5/5 — Hi *2020-06-07, version 4.1.0* Please i want need shinobi 2 Thanks ### 5/5 — good games *2020-02-13, version 4.1.0* AMAZING ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever *2020-01-10, version 4.1.0* I Love This Game If Feels Like I’m in The 1980s ### 5/5 — Shadow Dancer next please *2019-11-05, version 2.2.0* Awesome job ### 5/5 — SUPER DUPER RETRO COOL 😎 *2019-06-16, version 2.2.0* THIS GAME IS THE AWSOMEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!
