After some unique attempts at getting the word out about the game, Devolver Digital has finally released The Messenger on PC and the Nintendo Switch. This blend of Ninja Gaiden-inspired action and a Metroidvania with some things that help it stand out. There are small portals throughout the world that take you from the regular 8-bit world into a 16-bit one. Ninja Gaiden-style games have been few in number, with games like Ninja Five-O being portable-only and nothing getting a full-on console or PC release in ages. It has been getting rave reviews from all who have played it, and for a mere $20, you can buy it on PC via either Steam or get it DRM-free via GOG or on the Switch's eShop.
