About

It is 1838, the 9th year of the Tenpo era—a time of turmoil in Japan. Genba Kisaragi, leader of the Oboro Itto clan forms an alliance with demons with the objective of overthrowing the bakufu government. Only one dares stand before them; Kaina, the descendent of a bloodline of shinobi specialized in fighting demons.

Grab your trusty sword Murasame and survive the bloodshed in this hardcore 2D ninja action game! By using your seven shinobi weapons like Shuriken, Kusarigama and Elekiter, you’ll fight your way through hordes of enemies!

Discover many different locations like an abandoned shrine, a valley of ghosts, a ninja mansion and defeat the boss at the end of each… But watch out, they won’t go down easily.
