Overview
Description

In a world shattered by the evil Shogun Kunitoki, the Brotherhood of White Ninja lies slain, leaving you as the sole survivor. Your mission is to reclaim the Ninja Palace of Lin Fen, retrieve the sacred scrolls, and exact revenge for your fallen comrades. Traverse breathtaking landscapes, from opulent palace halls to treacherous dungeons, battling samurai, martial artists, and the Shogun’s elite guards. Harness ninja magic, discover hidden weapons, and prove your wisdom and strength in the ultimate showdown.

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.
