About Shinobi Life 2 :
I’m gonna be honest, I always wanted to write a long review about this game outlining the positives and negatives and what makes this game great and some hangups I have and other people have about it. But as of the last patch the game will not even open for me LOL. After a ton of research over the last week, support tickets with Bandaii and trying multiple fixes from Reddit, Bandaii and many other sources I now know this, if you are using Webroot Antivirus the game will just not work. Apparently this has been an issue for a very long time and I have no idea how my system was running this game with webroot before, but it is what it is. I am definitely not going to go out and buy a new anti-virus just to play this game especially when the main issue is easy anti-cheat conflicting with webroot (and there is a cheater in almost every game anyways so what is the point) Here’s to hoping that Bandaii will try and fix this issue even though that looks very very unlikely. So TL;DR: If you have Webroot Antivirus this game will not work as of right now. Great addition to Chess Knights series ! The SHINOBI theme is awesome: soundtrack and sound effects really gives you the theme immersion and peace of mind that the puzzles demands. Got myself looking for shurikens on my pocket 😀 The series makes the perfect blending of chess pieces movement with the puzzles presented in such a clever way that makes the game fun for everyone. My son (4 years old) NEVER EVER asked to join a chess match.. BUT when he saw me playing, he just got hooked: guess he will learn a bit of chess without knowing (LOL) — maybe another chess fan is on the making.
