Mark of the Ninja Trailer Sneaks Up On Us

The developer who brought us Shank is back with a new 2D stealth action game called Mark of the Ninja. Klei Entertainment is releasing the game on XBLA this summer. Our first look at the game reminds us of classics like Metal Gear and Shinobi while the art style is similar to Shank. Characters will play a (surprise) Ninja who is out to save his Ninja clan using his heightened sneaky instincts.

The enemy eyesight is restricted to a cone similar to the aforementioned Metal Gear (at least in the E3 trailer, though later enemies could become more advanced). Players will have various gadgets and weapons at their disposal to take out enemies in gruesome kills. Platforming is also going to be a big part of the experience. From what we've seen, Mark of the Ninja looks like a promising downloadable release to watch for this summer. Check out the trailer and screenshots below and see for yourself.
