Oniken vs Shinobi

Oniken is a fast‑paced action platformer that channels the look, sound and brutal difficulty of 1980s arcade games. Play as Zaku, a lethal ninja mercenary, and battle through six missions, over 18 boss fights, and a hardcore mode that tests even seasoned gamers. Every purchase includes a digital manual and the original 8‑bit soundtrack, plus extra missions and global leaderboards for bragging rights.

The game features unlimited shuriken, close‑range punches and kicks, and a power‑up that transforms your attacks into explosive gunfire and katana slashes. Master timing, memorize enemy patterns, and use the one‑time ninja magic per stage to clear the screen and achieve high scores.
