“Ninja Slayer Neosaitama in Flames” sees release on Nintendo Switch and Steam

TOKYO, JAPAN. July 29th, 2024 – KADOKAWA Game Linkage and ABC Animation are thrilled to announce that the Nintendo Switch and Steam (download) versions of “Ninja Slayer Neosaitama in Flames”, a game adaptation of the popular novel and comic book, are now available for purchase. This release coincides with the anniversary of the comic's serialization on Twitter (now X). This title marks the first indie game project between KADOKAWA Game Linkage and ABC Animation.

The original "Ninja Slayer" series is a blockbuster hit, with over 4.44 million copies sold. The game's world is based on the novel’s universe and is enriched by vivid images from the comics. Set in the cyberpunk fictional city of "Neo Saitama", players assume the role of Ninja Slayer, engaging in high-speed battles against numerous sinister enemy ninjas to avenge his wife and child.

Players can challenge eight boss ninjas in any order. Defeating all the bosses will open the way to Tokorozawa Pillar, the final stronghold where Laomoto awaits. In addition to the boss characters, the game features a Dark Ninja with deep ties to Ninja Slayer. His Hisatsu-Waza, the "Death-Kiri", and his demon sword Beppin present significant challenges for players.

Key game features include the Ninja-dash, which allows players to slaughter many enemies at once, and Naraku mode, where even fallen ninjas can come back stronger than before, albeit with a hidden price. "Neosaitama in Flames" promises many adrenaline-fueled battles.

The creators of the Ninja Slayer comics, Bradley Bond and Philip Ninj@ Morzez, have expressed their satisfaction with the game’s adaptation, noting that the overall atmosphere is very faithful to the comics.

"Ninja Slayer Neosaitama in Flames" is now available on both Steam and Nintendo Switch.
