Get ready for some hyper ninja action! Ninja Issen, a thrilling new game, will be launching on the eShop on February 20th. This retro-styled title promises lightning-fast combat and a compelling revenge story.
A Cyberpunk Ninja’s Quest
Ninja Issen throws players into the role of Kiba, a ninja framed for his clan leader’s murder. Left for dead, Kiba is reborn as a powerful hyper ninja and sets out on a quest to clear his name and avenge his fallen leader. Think classic ninja action with a modern, cyberpunk twist.
Slice and Dice Your Way to Victory
This isn’t your average button masher. Ninja Issen emphasizes stylish action and strategic combat. Players can utilize a variety of weapons and skills, including Kiba’s trusty katana, shurikens, and special abilities like “Issen” (a devastating multi-strike attack), “Teleport,” “Fire Circle,” and “Phantom” (for temporary invincibility). Mix and match these tools to create your own unique ninja fighting style.
Boss Battles and Hardcore Challenges
Each stage culminates in a challenging boss battle. These powerful foes boast unique attack patterns and require players to exploit their weaknesses to prevail. Some bosses even have destructible parts that change their attacks, adding another layer of strategy. For those seeking an extra challenge, Ninja Issen features a Hardcore mode. This mode strips away the story and cutscenes, cranks up the difficulty, and gives players a single life to complete the entire game. Perfect for speedrunners and score chasers!
Polished for Switch
The Switch version of Ninja Issen includes several enhancements to make the game more accessible. A detailed tutorial helps newcomers learn the ropes, while a gradual difficulty curve ensures a smooth progression. Mid-stage bosses also display their health bars, providing clearer feedback during combat.
