A Chronicle of Revenge
Kiba, the top ninja of his clan, is falsely accused of murdering the clan leader. Outnumbered by his pursuers, he flees to find himself in a city in the future, far removed from the world he knows. But the fight to flee left him on death’s door…
Fortunately, Kiba is saved by an engineer named Hanzo through a series of modifications and reinforcements that make him even stronger. It is here you will join him on his quest to clear his name and discover a way back to his own time.
The Hero and Cast
Kiba, the hero of this story, is a skilled ninja seeking justice and redemption after being falsely accused of killing his clan leader. For reasons unknown, he has been transported to a city in the future, where he sets off on a journey of revenge and to find a way back to his own time.
Hanzo, a famous engineer and owner of Hanzo’s Hot Sushi, finds Kiba after he was wounded in combat, and saves his life through a series of modifications after bringing him back to his workshop.
Asran is the princess of Kiba’s clan and daughter of its leader. Like Kiba, she was caught in a time rip and finds herself in an unknown world.
Finally, Suikyu is Kiba’s arch enemy and second-in-command of his clan. He is the one who falsely accuses Kiba of killing the clan leader, and leads the pursuit against him.
Intense Speed and Exhilarating Action
Utilize Kiba’s arsenal of attacks, skills, and nimble ninja movements to dominate the battlefield. And take advantage of every skill possible as you face off against challenging bosses that test Kiba’s abilities with their overwhelming strength and unique attack patterns.
Create A Combat Style All Your Own
Survive in one-versus-many battles by utilizing everything at your disposal against a variety of enemies, creating your own combat style as you fight.
Weapons available to Kiba include the close-ranged, high-attack Katana, and the long-ranged, bullet-deflecting Shuriken. Skills include Issen, which allows Kiba to slice through any obstacle in an instant; Teleport, which allows you to throw your Katana and teleport where it lands to leap across buildings and avoid traps; Fire Circle, which creates a ball of fire that spins and destroys everything in its path; and Phantom, which turns Kiba into a shadow and grants him limited invincibility.
Strike the Boss’ Weak Point
Discover and exploit bosses’ weak points while navigating their unique attack patterns. Once their HP is decreased to a certain point, they’ll enter a new phase of combat and fire off even stronger attacks.
