Dotemu and developer The Game Kitchen released Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound today across PC and consoles. This is an all-new 2D side-scrolling action platformer that more closely resembles the old-school Ninja Gaiden games.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is available at a 10% launch discount until August 7th, making it just $24.99. At least, that seems to be the case for the Steam release as that's the one they're directly linking to in today's press release. It is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and Steam.
NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound continues the saga of the original NES NINJA GAIDEN. The veil between the human and demon realms has broken, leaving the world linked with a gate to darkness. Since Ryu Hayabusa leaves the Hayabusa Village to avenge his father, Kenji Mozu, a fledgling Hayabusa Clan Ninja central to NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound must rise to slay the forces of evil.
