Trailer: Lightning-quick roguelike Ninja or Die slotted for August launch

Keep moving or you’re ninja-toast in the gorgeous-looking, one-button actioner Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun. It’s slicing into the PC this August.

You gotta be fast

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.

Set at the heart of a cataclysmic event in Edo Japan, Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun is an ultrafast roguelite inspired by Japanese folklore where you must master violent precision platforming in this fusion of extreme speed and one-button controls that will leave you dead and wanting more.

Marvelous Europe press release

From developer Nao Games, Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun is heading to the PC on August 2nd.
