With reflexive combat options, break-neck speed and high-flying action, players must battle and outrun a number of evil forces. The complex combat system is all about choice: players can focus on the speed of their Ninja training forsaking combative abilities but giving them extra speed, stealth and jumping abilities.
Or if they prefer, players can challenge all those in their path via the combat stance which gives them a powerful magical jutsu, combo attacks and a powerful stab attack. Players can opt to kill everything that moves or zoom past everyone and everything; with the achievement system rewarding both approaches!
Combat offers two unique stances: Speed stance and Combat stance. In Speed stance, Ninjamurai can double jump and also use his stealth jutsu to sneak past enemies, but he is limited to a very simplistic slash attack. In Combat stances, Ninjamurai can do a large combo attack and use a combat jutsu to take out all enemies, which uses all of his mana, however he can't double jump in this stance. Both stances allow Ninjamuri to wall slide, wall jump and throw Kunai Knives.
"We are always trying to find the perfect way to explain the combat in Ninjamurai and we think one of the game's reviewers following it launch in Europe summed it up best when saying 'Take some Shinobi, mix in a surprisingly complex combat system and then add the speed and jumping physics from the good Sonic games, bake for a while and you should come up with Ninjamurai'*, said Paddy Murphy, CEO of Open Emotion Studios. "That is exactly what we are going for with Ninjamurai and we're thrilled people are picking up on that formula."
Ninjamurai tells the tale of revenge as Takezou Nishimura (Ninjamurai) journeys across a strange and twisted world to take on the might of the evil Black Armour Corporation. The PSP Mini will featuring 20 levels, a huge soundtrack, hand drawn visuals, 5 costumes, 12 in-game achievements, time trials and so much more!
