About

Side-scrolling action game set during Japan's Genroku era, where you play as either a ninja or kunoichi hunting cursed swords. The Demon Blades grant power but doom their wielders to madness and death—and they're tearing holes between the mortal world and netherworld, letting spirits and gods spill through. Combat revolves around fast blade techniques and switching between multiple swords mid-fight. Levels scroll horizontally but also let you climb and drop between vertical layers. Hand-drawn 2D art anchors the visual style. You'll navigate branching paths across feudal Japan, fighting both human enemies and supernatural threats. The two playable characters follow separate stories that intersect around the blade conflict. Expect boss fights against mythological creatures. If you want deliberate, combo-heavy swordplay with folklore theming, this delivers.
