Overview
Description

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 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.
