About these games

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound

NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is a side-scrolling platformer from the team behind Blasphemous, blending the classic feel of the 8-bit era with the depth of modern 3D entries. Ryu Hayabusa travels to America to fulfil his father’s will, while the barrier between the human and demon worlds shatters and a terrifying army attacks the Hayabusa Village. Kenji Mozu, a young ninja trained by Ryu, turns to forbidden power and forms an alliance with the sinister Black Spider Clan. Players control Kenji and the assassin Kumori at once, using Ninja Fusion abilities in pixel art battles.

Ninja Senki DX

Ninja Senki DX brings the original Ninja Senki to Steam for its fifth anniversary. After a demon slays Princess Kinuhime, Hayate is consumed by a thirst for revenge: he sets aside the art of invisibility and relies on shurikenjutsu against mythological creatures, demons and other adversaries. Players fight through 16 scenes and can reach multiple endings. On top of that, the game offers a remixed soundtrack by Patrice Bourgeault, a new Challenge mode for testing speedrunning skills, two secret modes, achievements and Steam Leaderboards.

The Messenger

As a demon army besieges his village, a young ninja travels through a cursed world to deliver a scroll on which his clan’s survival depends. What starts as a classic action platformer gradually expands into a large time-travel adventure full of tension, surprises, and humor. The player moves through dynamic, acrobatic gameplay, gains character upgrades and new abilities, and discovers hidden levels and branching paths. The game features offbeat villains, bosses, and associates, and its original chiptune soundtrack by Rainbowdragoneyes was made with Famitracker.

Within the Blade

Within the blade is a stealth platformer with RPG elements in which you play as a Shinobi. Slaying enemies earns experience for more advanced ninjutsu, while levels yield ingredients for crafting weapons, poisons, elixirs, grenades and mines, plus the main Ninjato and Kusarigama. Shadows and critical strikes are your best defence and offence, and after every level you return to your home village to buy gear. The setting is Japan in 1560, torn apart by civil war, where the Steel Claw clan led by daimyo Mamoru Imai turns to forbidden practices and dark entities — only sabotage by the Black Lotus shinobi detachment offers hope.

NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black

This definitive version of NINJA GAIDEN 2 uses Unreal Engine 5 for greatly enhanced graphics and adds more playable characters. You play as Ryu Hayabusa, a ninja who has inherited the legendary ‘Dragon Sword’ and fights across the world. Fast, violent action uses a wide range of weapons and techniques, including Japanese swords, shurikens, kusari-gama and tonfas. Momiji, Ayane and Rachel are also playable, and the HERO PLAY STYLE mode gives automatic support in demanding situations.

NINJA GAIDEN 4
