​The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors (2019)

All the fighting happens along one horizontal line, so controlling which side a threat occupies becomes especially important. Hold attack to guard, reposition with a guarded escape and throw an approaching opponent into the next group. Those decisions offer plenty to learn before elaborate juggles. The modern remake includes an in-game manual and move lists; Normal still expects purposeful defence. Choose it for a concentrated exercise in spacing, rather than a belt-scroller where you can simply step above the punch.
