Ninja Blade

Ninja Blade is an action game set in Tokyo amid an outbreak of parasitic creatures. You fight as part of an elite squad assembled using research into the infestation, as a new outbreak unfolds in the city.

The outbreak

On July 7th, 2011, peacekeeping forces investigating unlawful weapons trafficking found an unclassified carnivorous species in a small village in Northern Africa. Eight specimens were encountered in the area known as Ground:ALPHA, but only four were contained for study. Victims were quarantined at a nearby research facility after showing internal liquefaction and accelerated necrosis.

The cause was not a virus but a previously unidentified hookworm species found beneath the specimens’ skin. Called Alpha-worms, the parasites lay dozens of eggs inside their hosts; the resulting larvae enter the bloodstream and trigger genetic failures. These changes are not fatal: infested victims become larger and stronger, and are driven by hunger. After minor outbreaks over the following years were put down by an elite squad, the current situation moves to Tokyo.

Combat and abilities

You fight challenging battles with three different weapons, using cinematic action and quick-time events. The game also features powerful ninja abilities and systems for upgrading weapons and ninjutsu. You crisscross Tokyo through intense gunfights.
