A downloadable game

[Work-In-Progress]

Ninja: Shoshin is a 2D Action/Adventure Side Scroller game, in which you will play with "Shoshin," a novice ninja who has a thirst for learning.

Ninja: Shoshin uses a system of classes, which you can change during the level 
(actually not in game):

  • Ninjutsu: Stealth, Escape, Defense and evasion of attacks;
  • Shurikenjutsu: projectiles and long range attacks;
  • Kenjutsu: Katana and short-range attacks;

See below an excerpt during Shoshin's dialogue with his sensei:

--

"Come closer Shoshin, now I will tell you the history of our nation.

"During the feudal Japan era, there were wars between the inner classes. Clans and families were separated in conflicts, and that was where they needed people to do the dirty work, all to keep the clan's name honorable and without bloodstains. But it did not last long until these 'mercenaries' began to evolve and create traditions among themselves, and, to make themselves necessary they created small 'conflicts' that would engage a demand for other mercenaries.

This became a somewhat dishonored task and for this, some of them who disagreed with the situation, gave up. Taking advantage of the situation, a warrior named Sanada Yukimura decided to gather all the other mercenaries who did not agree with the situation and created a group of isolated mercenaries and named them: Samurai. Along with this, he has created the set of rules and traditions that remain to this day so that everything does not happen again.

The others, seeing that there was competition, declared a war between the samurais and gradually they were killing each other until the total number of them was small enough for them to think about making a peace agreement. All for the good of the class and for them to keep.

Observing and learning the samurai's fighting form, and his tradition, Haru Sarutobi, left the mercenaries and created his own clan based on the fact that they could be better than the Samurai using the method of stealth and walking in the shadows, acting unlike the Samurai who fight each other, they called themselves: Ninjas.

Since then they have been keeping space between themselves, yet whenever they met with crooked looks it was already cause for war with each other. Like a rivalry. Until 'they' arrived.

The other mercenaries. Small groups of different classes, using unknown secrets and forbidden powers. They were appearing and creating wars between clans and small villages just to benefit and gradually take the places of Samurai and Ninjas. "

As for what happened here, yes, it was them. So first of all you should learn what it's like to be a ninja and then you honor our values, if you know what I'm talking about."
