SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance casts Joe Musashi as a ninja returning to a devastated home: his village has burned, and his clan has been turned to stone. The story sends him on a quest for vengeance against an evil force. Its hand-drawn look, created by the team behind Streets of Rage 4, gives this 2D action platformer a distinctive visual identity.
Combat is built around a broad ninja arsenal, including the Katana Oborozuki, Kunai, Ninjutsu arts and Ninpo. Musashi can string together combos using distinct combat moves, while Amulets enhance abilities. Ningi tools add a different layer, helping overcome obstacles and reveal new paths, so progression involves both fighting and finding ways forward.
The journey spans more than a dozen visually varied stages, with settings ranging from military bases to a scorching desert, alongside platforming puzzles and hidden secrets.
