TOKYO, JAPAN. July 29th, 2024 – KADOKAWA Game Linkage and ABC Animation are thrilled to announce that the Nintendo Switch and Steam (download) versions of “Ninja Slayer Neosaitama in Flames”, a game adaptation of the popular novel and comic book, are now available for purchase. This release coincides with the anniversary of the comic’s serialization on Twitter (now X). This title marks the first indie game project between KADOKAWA Game Linkage and ABC Animation.

The original “Ninja Slayer” series is a blockbuster hit, with over 4.44 million copies sold. The game’s world is based on the novel’s universe and is enriched by vivid images from the comics. Set in the cyberpunk fictional city of “Neo Saitama”, players assume the role of Ninja Slayer, engaging in high-speed battles against numerous sinister enemy ninjas to avenge his wife and child.

Players can challenge eight boss ninjas in any order. Defeating all the bosses will open the way to Tokorozawa Pillar, the final stronghold where Laomoto awaits. In addition to the boss characters, the game features a Dark Ninja with deep ties to Ninja Slayer. His Hisatsu-Waza, the “Death-Kiri”, and his demon sword Beppin present significant challenges for players.

Key game features include the Ninja-dash, which allows players to slaughter many enemies at once, and Naraku mode, where even fallen ninjas can come back stronger than before, albeit with a hidden price. “Neosaitama in Flames” promises many adrenaline-fueled battles.

The creators of the Ninja Slayer comics, Bradley Bond and Philip Ninj@ Morzez, have expressed their satisfaction with the game’s adaptation, noting that the overall atmosphere is very faithful to the comics.

“Ninja Slayer Neosaitama in Flames” is now available on both Steam and Nintendo Switch.

TOKYO, JAPAN. June 19th, 2024 – “Ninja Slayer Neosaitama in Flames”, a game adaptation of the popular novel and comic book, will be released on 24 July 2024 on Nintendo Switch and Steam.

This title is the first title in an indie game project between developers KADOKAWA Game Linkage and ABC Animation.

The game is based on popular series Ninja Slayer, which has now sold more than 4.4 million copies in novels, comics, and other forms.

“Neosaitama in Flames“, which is the first part of the story, will be the stage for this game. It is an action game in which the protagonist, The Ninja Slayer, will face numerous powerful enemies in life-and-death battles.

Eight unique bosses await in various stages, and these can be tackled in any order of the player’s choosing.

The project is a collaboration between ABC Animation, which has been creating animation IP and KADOKAWA Game Linkage, which has long been involved in games as a game media company, with Famitsu and Dengeki Game under its belt. This is a joint initiative to produce a high-quality indie game.

ABC Animation and KADOKAWA Game Linkage will have a booth at Bit Summit Drift, one of the largest national indie game events in Japan, where they will be showcasing “Ninja Slayer Neosaitama in Flames”. The event takes place in Kyoto on 19-21 July.

Even in the gaming world, Indie games are unique because they allow the creator’s thoughts and ideas to shine through in a straightforward manner. This project aims to use Indie Games to popularize the titles that these games are based on in Japan and the rest of the world.

Bradley Bond, one of the creators of Ninja Slayer, said: “The Ninja Slayer franchise itself is heavily influenced by several classic video games. The “Neosaitama in Flames” version is particularly nuanced, so it should be a good fit for a side-scrolling action game.

“I’ve heard that there will be a series of battles with Laomoto Khan and I am extremely excited about that. I’m looking forward to a game which will have the atmosphere of karate and ninja!”
