Overview
Description

Collect secret swords and items to overcome challenging action sequences and uncover the mystery. The game blends hack‑and‑slash combat with puzzle‑like storytelling for an engaging single‑player or co‑op experience.

The Ninja Warriors delivers classic side‑scrolling hand‑to‑hand combat where players control either Kunoichi or Ninja, battling waves of Banglar forces across five dystopian levels. Each character features unique combo moves, dash attacks, throws, stabbing, and air strikes, with a special energy bar that fuels powerful attacks when filled.
