NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black was a surprise drop during the Xbox Developer Direct in mid-week. KOEI TECMO has harnessed the power of Unreal Engine 5 to "significantly enhance graphic expression."

Steam Deck Gaming - NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black

Whilst not officially stated as "Playable", our initial testing reveals that gameplay performance sits between 40-60 FPS depending on how many enemies are on screen, your combat play style and the graphical effects of all this.


We have to make do with 720p resolution for NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black. For the best experience, we recommend capping your frames to 60 FPS and using the "Light" graphics preset. This will provide a good 40-60 FPS experience that will have you focus on the game more than the FPS counter. We have broken down the best settings in more detail here.


If you like you could lock this down to 30 FPS with a cap and it'll run super stable. The only time we found the FPS drop below 30 was during cutscenes but that is of no issue since the quality looks so damn good.
