About Shadow Duel
A one-on-one ninja duel drawn in ink and moonlight. Read your rival, guard, then strike back: every defence opens a counter, and a run of good defence triggers your ninja's own counter cinematic (一 二 三) that ends in a finishing strike.
- 13 ninjas with their own weapons: katana, nodachi, twin tanto, naginata, kusarigama, bo staff, war fans and a bow, each with a signature kick and ki technique
- Knock the sword out of your rival's hands and fight on with fists and kicks, or flick your blade back up from the floor
- 7 arenas that hit back: waves, gales, falling beams, runaway carts, snow slides, lightning and leaf storms, with slippery floors, walls and props you can use
- An eight-fight journey for every ninja with its own ending, mastery stars and Legacy colors
- A monthly tournament, a Dan rank trial from Kyu 10 to Dan 10 and the Shadow Pass
- Japanese announcer and voiced fighters
- Training, combo trials and a short tutorial
- Two players on one keyboard or two gamepads, or fight the AI on three difficulties
