10 Second Ninja X is a game with so many pros and so little cons, I don't see any reason to not pick it up and give it a try. It may not look like much at first glance, but dig a little deeper and you'll realize that this game is quite the gem.

On the whole, 10 Second Ninja X is an okay game done well. The designs are fine, the music is fine, and the gameplay is fine. It’s all… Fine. The problem is, whilst it was well made, it didn’t wow me. It was quite fun at first, but constantly repeating levels really wore me down. I also felt like it had no business being played on a console. It feels more like a mobile game, and that’s where I feel it could have shone. 10 Second Ninja X is the kind of game I want to play whilst waiting for a train. It’s something to do sat in the waiting room of the doctor’s surgery. But it’s not…

10 Second Ninja X is truly a speedrunner’s paradise. It allows the player ample time to clear each level while the levels themselves will change accordingly to keep the player challenged throughout. While there isn’t anything exactly new or refreshing about it mechanics wise, it does display a great use of its level design and it’s crisp controls certainly make for a fun, yet excruciatingly frustrating, time.

Built on the solid foundation of its predecssor 10 Second Ninja X is very addictive and comes crammed with heaps of additional content. Its rapid bursts of gameplay are exhilarating and you'll keep returning to find faster solutions to puzzles. The legacy levels may lack bite and there a number of crippling glitches present, but considering its modest price point it's still well worth a purchase.

It seems like there's a new challenging 2D platformer with single-screen stages every week. 10 Second Ninja X may not reinvent the genre but it does provide some fun times for the ninja in you.

The infuriating do-over nature of 10 Second Ninja X greatly sours the experience and takes away from what otherwise could’ve been a decent game.
