Shinobi: Art of Vengeance demo out today

A new demo for Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is arriving today, SEGA has announced. This comes ahead of next month’s launch.

The demo can be downloaded via the game’s official Nintendo eShop listing. With it, players can explore the first stage of the game, Oboro Village, battling enemies and traversing platforming obstacles through hand-drawn environments. After that, they can aim for the highest score in Arcade Mode and uncover hidden paths. Also worth noting, the demo unlocks certain gameplay abilities that are normally obtained later in the full game.

Here’s some information about the title:

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance follows longtime series protagonist and master of the ninja arts, Joe Musashi, who sets off on an epic quest of revenge across a variety of stages and environments. With larger-than-life bosses, a deep combat system, and smooth, satisfying gameplay, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance will have players attacking and reacting on the move — and then coming back for more.

Take a look at a new demo trailer for Shinobi: Art of Vengeance below.
