Gameplay

Enter a world steeped in martial arts and mystical danger with The Ninja Kids (World), a cooperative action game for up to four players. As students dispatched by their karate sensei, you’ll choose from one of four uniquely skilled ninja puppets – Hanzo, Sasuke, Akame, or Genta – each wielding distinct weapons like katanas, kusarigamas, shuriken, and staffs. Navigate five stages filled with enemies as you battle a cult attempting to summon a sinister force. Combat is fast-paced and engaging, combining traditional jump-and-attack maneuvers with a tumbling evasion technique that can damage nearby foes. Each ninja also possesses a powerful elemental magic attack—water, wind, fire, or earth—to unleash on your adversaries. Hidden throughout the environments are interactive objects which may reveal useful power-ups like health restoration or temporary invincibility. Progressing through each stage culminates in challenging boss encounters that test your combined skills and coordination. The Ninja Kids (World) delivers a vibrant, side-scrolling beat-'em-up experience perfect for cooperative play with friends.
