About the game
You enter guarded enemy territory as a ninja team, complete a mission and find a way out. Patrols and traps make careless movement dangerous. A pursuer you cannot defeat keeps hunting, so hiding and escape matter more than standing your ground. The announced missions also reward bringing your team home rather than leaving fallen allies behind.
Up to four players cooperate online. One ninja can open a route through a wall while another hides the group in smoke. Grappling hooks reach high ground, and firecrackers draw attention away from teammates. You can revive allies, carry them to higher places and activate devices together. Equipment unlocks let you change your loadout between attempts. These details and the feel ratings describe the announced design and remain provisional.
