Within the Blade: A Shinobi’s Shadowy Path to Redemption

Step into the blood-soaked chaos of 1560 A.D. Japan in *Within the Blade*, a thrilling stealth-platformer RPG. As a Shinobi of the Black Lotus clan, your mission is perilous: assassinate the demonically possessed Daimyo Mamoru Imai before his dark army consumes Japan.

This isn’t your typical hack-and-slash. *Within the Blade* emphasizes cunning and strategy. Master the art of stealth, using shadows to your advantage, striking from the darkness to eliminate enemies swiftly and silently. Each successful assassination, whether a swift strike or a cunning trap, earns experience, fueling your mastery of deadly Ninjutsu.

Between missions, return to your village to upgrade your skills and craft an arsenal of deadly tools. Over 200 recipes allow you to create everything from shurikens and poisons to devastating mines and the iconic Ninjato and Kusarigama. Experiment with different combinations to find the perfect tools for each encounter.

Prepare for intense, dynamic battles against a diverse cast of enemies, each demanding unique tactics. Ten powerful bosses await, each with unique abilities and brutal combat styles. The game’s visceral combat system features vivid animations and satisfying dismemberment, adding a layer of brutal realism.

*Within the Blade* offers a rich blend of stealth, action, and RPG elements, creating a uniquely engaging experience. Become the shadow, master the blade, and save Japan from the encroaching darkness.
