Play Shien's Revenge (Beta) Online
Dodging through crowds with quick slashes, your ninja moves faster than most SNES brawlers—those rough-edged animations somehow make the combat feel even snappier. Boss fights will wreck you until you learn their patterns, then it all clicks.
Shien's Revenge is one of those SNES betas that makes you wish it had gotten a full release. The first thing you'll notice is how smooth the combat feels—your ninja moves through crowds with these quick slashes and flips that just work, even if the animations are a little rough around the edges. It’s got that classic arcade brawler vibe, but with a speed that reminds me more of Shinobi than Final Fight.
The pixel art pops with bright colors, especially the enemy designs—some of them look like they walked straight out of an old anime. And yeah, it’s tough. Not "cheap" tough, but the kind where you actually want to master the timing of your dodges. I kept getting wrecked by the second stage boss until I figured out his pattern, and that moment when it clicks? So satisfying.
It’s definitely unfinished—some levels feel rushed, and the music cuts out weirdly in places—but there’s something special about playing a game that never got its chance. If you’re into lost SNES prototypes or just love a good action fix, this one’s worth booting up.
