lupianwolf · Sep 26, 2018

Goal is £53K/$70K
Initial platforms: PS4 & PC

Bushiden is a Metroidvania-influenced action platformer set in a futuristic world where your greatest foe has been revived from the dead and is seeking revenge. The game combines melee combat with exploration elements spanning 8 separate, non-linear levels.

Features

7 levels to explore plus a prologue area!

Survive epic boss fights to unlock new traversal and combat abilities!

Unique "crowd control" combat system gives the player powerful options for dispatching hordes of foes!

Revisit levels with upgraded abilities to access new areas, find secret rewards, and become even more powerful!

Collect currency from slain enemies to purchase health upgrades, enhanced shurikens, weapon summons, and chi spell attacks!

Beautiful, hand-crafted pixel art!

This looks incredible!

Well this is sick looking. Don't have money to kick in atm, but will keep an eye on this.

So between The Messenger referencing Ninja Gaiden, this game taking on the Shinobi games, and the Ninja Warriors remaster, are there any major pixel ninjas missing? Does Goemon count?

Looks like a game that i'll Play to death. I reallllly want it.

But I won't support a kickstarter game project. Sorry.

Orioto · Sep 26, 2018

I loooove when indie 2d games looks like something that would have been next gen in the late 90's

Looks dope. I'm down if it ever comes to Switch. That's my ideal platform for a game like this.

I misread the other comment. I thought they were asking what older ninja games inspired stuff like this.

Shadoken · Sep 26, 2018

wow this looks amazing.

Bushinden. Sounds awfully similar to

I love the visuals/colors/art style!
Wish more modern 2D games would look like this.
Everything else looks and sounds also awesome.

Between this, The Messenger, Cyber Shadow, and Mark of the Ninja, it seems that Ninjas are really back in style.

Shpeshal Nick · Sep 26, 2018

Looks very Strider which I say in a good way.

Touch of Shinobi and a dash of Mark of the Ninja. Very cool.

There's already a thread for this:

And the game's title is actually "Bushiden" :)

That is some sexy animations.

GwyndolinCinder · Sep 26, 2018

Shameless UI theft and dat save point. Looks cool, but this bothered me

ReyVGM · Sep 27, 2018

Game looks amazing.

Phabh · Sep 27, 2018

Looks good. Would be perfect for you know what.

Black Chamber · Sep 27, 2018

So Shinobi III held hands with Strider and cheated on him with Super Metroid while secretly texting Ninja Gaiden.

Cool!

LOL. I hear you. But if people don't back now, it never gets to the point of the you know what ;)
