Ninja Issen Releasing Later This Month on PC, Next Year on Switch
Ninja Issen will release on November 23 for PC via Steam. The game will be available on the Nintendo Switch at some point next year. The Steam page describes the game as follows:
「Ninja Issen」is a retro-style ninja platformer that features a variety of hyper action, 1 vs. many battles, and dynamic boss fights. Paying homage to the ninja games of the classic 8-16 bit era, 「Ninja Issen」 is full of ninjas, robots, neon lights, and dark atmosphere that overwhelms the streets of the future metropolis.
You will be 「Kiba」, a rogue ninja who was falsely accused of assassinating the grand master of his clan. In his desperate fight to escape from other ninjas trying to avenge his crime, 「Kiba」 suddenly finds himself in the middle of the world he has never seen.
THE GAME
In 「Ninja Issen」, you will always encounter 1 vs. many battles in which you must use everything to survive. The enemies come in many types and designs, large in number and ready to strike wherever you go.
Fortunately, 「Kiba」 is a seasoned and skillful ninja who can overcome dangers ahead of him. Use 「Kiba」’s weapons and abilities to cut down rushing enemies, and explore the future metropolis.
- KATANA – 「Kiba」’s main weapon which is highly effective in close combat.
- SHURIKEN – Used for long-range attack and to deflect enemy projectile.
- TELEPORT – 「Kiba」 can teleport by throwing his katana to the spot he wishes to reach. Use it to jump between high structures and pass through traps like a pro ninja.
The game will be available later this month on PC via Steam. Ninja Issen will come to Switch at some point next year.
