Ninja Issen

Ninja Issen is a retro-style ninja platformer set in a dark future metropolis of robots, neon lights and ninjas. You play as Kiba, a rogue ninja falsely accused of assassinating his clan’s grand master. As other ninjas pursue him to avenge the crime, Kiba finds himself in a world he has never seen.

Fight through the city

You face frequent battles against large groups of enemies, with foes of many types and designs attacking from wherever you go. Use Kiba’s weapons and abilities to survive and explore the metropolis. You can combine his skills to shape your own fighting style:

• Katana: Kiba’s main weapon, effective in close combat.
• Shuriken: attack from a distance and deflect enemy projectiles.
• Teleport: throw Kiba’s katana to a chosen spot and teleport there, allowing you to move between high structures and pass through traps.

Face the bosses

Each stage has a boss with its own patterns and gimmicks. You must withstand its attacks and find a way to defeat it. When a boss’s HP falls below a certain point, the fight may enter Phase 2, where it uses new and fiercer attack patterns. Destroying parts of a boss can also change its attack pattern.
