Ninja Issen (忍者一閃) is a hyper ninja action game developed by Korean indie dev Asteroid-J, embodying the lightning-fast hyper ninja action genre. With its cyberpunk future city atmosphere set within a retro graphics filter, Ninja Issen features one-against-many nimble ninja action, where players feel the pleasure of wiping out waves of enemies with a single stroke of their blades and fending off bosses that block their way forward with non-stop attacks and various movement patterns, all while making use of the ninja skills at their disposal.
In particular, Ninja Issen’s intuitive feel and variety of playable content carry several elements that will appeal to the Nintendo Switch player base. It will be a great pickup for players looking for a unique style of action game.
Ninja Issen tells the story of Kiba, the top ninja in his clan who was framed for the murder of his clan leader. His clan immediately labels him a traitor assassin, sentencing him to be killed and bringing him to death’s door during their pursuit. However, with help from his new friend, Kiba is reborn as a powerful hyper ninja, embarking on a journey for revenge in order to set things right and clear his name.
