How it feels

Fast-paced side-scrolling action where you slice through enemies with a katana and shurikens while progressing through linear futuristic levels.

What players say

Players describe a classic-style platformer with tight controls but janky movement, alternating between Ninja Gaiden-like action and space shooter sections. Difficulty swings wildly, with the first shooter level being much harder than the rest, boss fights are praised. There is a split, with one player reporting game-breaking bugs that forced a refund.
