The iconic SHINOBI returns in an all-new 2D action platformer with a unique hand-drawn look created by the team behind the hit brawler Streets of Rage 4.
Walk the narrow line between honor and vengeance in SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance, a high-velocity action adventure where precision, speed, and mastery forge your legend. Become the last blade of a fallen clan, cut through conspiracies in war-torn provinces, and carve your path with ruthless efficiency or ghost-like finesse.
Relentless, Skill-Based Combat: Read enemy patterns, perfect parries, stance swaps, and cancel windows, then punish with katana finishers, kunai bursts, and mythic Ninjutsu arts. Every mistake is lethal—every success, cinematic.
Steel, Shadow, & Ninjutsu: Swap seamlessly between katana, dual tantos, kusarigama, bow, and shuriken; empower them with elemental Ninjutsu to ignite, freeze, or shock the battlefield.
Modes for Every Shinobi: Story Campaign, Gaiden Time Trials, Boss Rush, and New Game+. Earn skill scrolls to unlock weapon arts, Ninjutsu paths, armors, masks, and talismans—all by mastering challenges, not grinding.
Vertical Stealth & Parkour: Wall-run, grapple, slide, and glide across layered castles, neon-lit ports, and sacred shrines. Hidden shortcuts and shrines reward exploration with rare upgrade materials and lore.
Adaptive Enemy Ecosystem: Ashigaru, elite spear guards, onmyō mages, assassins, and yokai alter tactics to counter your stance and weapon choice. Precision Dismantle: Break guards, stagger elites, and trigger slow-motion “Focus Cuts” for stylish executions. Risk–Reward Vengeance Gauge: Build meter through aggression to unleash devastating Ninjutsu Ultimates or clutch escape techniques.

Near-Instant Loading: Jump between hubs, missions, and bosses with SSD-powered transitions. 3D Audio: Track patrols by footstep, wind chimes, and arrow whistle for surgical stealth.
