TheGamer（9/10）:
“Ninja Gaiden Gaiden: Bonds of Fury” pays homage to the classics while breathing new life into the series. It subtly inherits the essence of its predecessor’s horizontal scroll and incorporates a unique and innovative design.
The game presents a stunning retro visual style, with silky smooth animation transitions and well-detailed character portraits. The controls are extremely responsive, and the combat rhythm is tight and sharp – the new system is a perfect blend of traditional horizontal gameplay. The boss battle design is wonderful, and the soundtrack is outstanding. The basic difficulty is more accessible than the old games in the series (but it still provides adjustment options to enhance the challenge), some levels have scene repetition issues, and there is room for improvement in the uniqueness of some branching areas.
Gamingbolt（9/10）：
The quality of Ninja Gaiden Gaiden: Bonds of Wrath is so outstanding that no matter how long the process is, it ends with a lot of reluctance. Developer The Game
Kitchen has successfully extracted the essence of two generations of “Ninja Gaiden” and created a new benchmark for the series with innovative design. It definitely ranks among the top titles in the series, including the upcoming Ninja Gaiden 4 and Shinobi
Counteroffensive Slash” will face serious challenges.
