From the acclaimed team behind Blasphemous, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound successfully unites the classic lore and gameplay of the Tecmo-developed (now KOEI TECMO GAMES) NINJA GAIDEN series from the 8-bit era with the depth and intensity of the modern 3D entries. The best of both eras come together to create an epic and thrilling adventure.
Our story begins when Ryu Hayabusa journeys to America to honor his father's will. While he is away, the barrier between the human and the demon worlds suddenly shatters, unleashing a terrifying army upon the Hayabusa Village, which now faces an unprecedented threat in Ryu's absence.
To stand against this new threat, Kenji Mozu, a young ninja from the Hayabusa Village, rises to the challenge! Trained by Ryu, he fights fiercely but soon finds himself in desperate straits. Forced to tap into forbidden power, Kenji sets aside centuries of animosity and forms an alliance with the sinister Black Spider Clan, convinced that combining their souls and skills is the only way to protect the world out of the Demon Lord's grasp!
Combining old-school feeling with modern precision, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound retains the pick-up-and-play action of the classic titles, while introducing new layers of depth.
Alongside the new protagonist, Kenji Mozu, is the skilled assassin Kumori. Take control of these two powerful ninjas simultaneously and unravel their interconnected stories.
Use the Ninja Fusion to unleash devastating abilities and obliterate your enemies. NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound features impeccable mechanics that are easy to learn but hard to truly master, challenging the skills of even the most seasoned fans of the NINJA GAIDEN series!
Step into a reimagined version of the classic NINJA GAIDEN universe, brought to life through stunning, meticulously crafted visuals. Every enemy is recreated with a level of detail that was once impossible.
The brutal, nostalgia-filled aesthetic of NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound pays homage to the past while pushing the boundaries of modern pixel art, making every battle a feast for the eyes.
Do you have what it takes to become a true ninja master?
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a 2D action platformer, blending classic Ninja Gaiden gameplay from entries in the series from the late 80's and early 90's, with modern mechanics and presentation. Players control Kenji Mozu, a young ninja from the Hayabusa clan, trained by series protagonist Ryu Hayabusa. When demons attack his village during Ryu's absence, Kenji is forced to team up with Kumori, a skilled assassin from the rival Black Spider Clan. Their uneasy alliance becomes central to the game's narrative, as they work together to stop a demonic invasion and seal away the Demon Lord.
Gameplay focuses on fast-paced, precision-based combat and platforming. Kenji uses a katana for melee attacks, while Kumori offers ranged support with kunai and special weapons. Players can switch between the two characters to combine their abilities, and unlock powerful techniques known as Ragebound Arts. Combat is further deepened by the Hypercharge system, which rewards players for defeating enemies with glowing colored auras. Each aura corresponds to a specific type of attack—such as katana strikes for blue or kunai for purple—and landing the correct hit builds a Hypercharge. This powerful charge can then be used for instant kills or to stagger bosses. There is also the Guillotine Boost, a movement mechanic that lets players bounce off enemies and projectiles for chained aerial navigation and attacks.
Levels are linear with collectibles, hidden paths, optional challenges and boss fights. The game includes a scoring system that encourages speed, combo chains, and creative use of abilities. There are optional difficulty modifiers, bonus stages, and unlockable equipment.
