Master “violent precision platforming that will leave you dead and wanting more”.
“Ultrafast roguelite” Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun will launch on PC via Steam on 2nd August 2023.
To celebrate, publisher Marvelous Europe has released a playable demo that can be downloaded on Steam from now until 17th July.
Check out the frenetic action yourself in the teaser below:
Set “at the heart of a cataclysmic event in Edo Japan”, Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun is inspired by Japanese folklore and requires you to master “violent precision platforming in this fusion of extreme speed and one-button controls that will leave you dead and wanting more”.
“Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun is a killer fusion of brutal challenge and elegant simplicity, combining extreme speed with a unique control scheme,” Marvelous explains.
“In Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun you are a common pickpocket, transformed by the cataclysm into a lethal Ninja with lightning mobility. The Ramen Seller becomes a Samurai. The Maiko becomes a killer Geisha. Your domain of petty crime becomes a frenzied neon world of shogun castles, magic traps and parachuting assassins. Someone has ensnared you in a loop of chaos… if not to kill you, then to protect you from something worse.”
