SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance

 
The iconic white-clad ninja, Joe Musashi, is back in SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance, a stunning hand-drawn 2D action platformer from Lizardcube (creators of Streets of Rage 4) and Sega. Old-school fans and newcomers alike jump into a saga of stealth, revenge, and mystical powers, blending classic Shinobi action with modern Metroidvania exploration and deep combat systems.
Vivid Combat, Deep Exploration, and Vengeance
When a paramilitary force called ENE Corp decimates Oboro Village and petrifies his ninja clan, Musashi sets out to face Lord Ruse and a legion of supernatural and cybernetic enemies. Every stage brims with secrets, bosses, and branching routes. Double jumps, dodge-rolls, and combos let you take down enemies with your sword, kunai, and magical Ninpo arts. Tag and stagger foes for a devastating Shinobi Execution, and use collectible amulets to customize your arsenal.
