Put on your mask, draw your katana… and run! In Katana Rush, you are Kage, a young ninja racing at full speed through a hand-painted Japan of legends. Leap from bamboo to bamboo, glide with your kite, slash enemies with a Shadow Strike and outrun the Ink Tide that swallows everything in its path. SMOOTH RUNNING, ONE FINGER IS ENOUGH Tap to jump, hold to glide, swipe to strike. You'll learn the controls in seconds; mastering the combos, the lantern bounces and the great updraft that carries you to the castle rooftops will take much longer. THE WAY OF THE NINJA: A REAL CAMPAIGN • 160 levels across eight worlds: bamboo forest, castle rooftops, abandoned mine, volcanic forge, harbor shore, lotus lake, frozen mountain and celestial palace • Varied goals: run, collect, time trial, chase, ascent, mount, silent infiltration • 16 bosses and mini-bosses from Japanese folklore: the Trickster Kappa, the Peak Tengu, Gashadokuro the giant skeleton, Raijin and Fūjin, Yuki-onna the Snow Woman… all the way to the Ink Dragon, source of the Tide ENDLESS RUN Go as far as you can, beat your record and take on the daily run, the same for every player. Compete worldwide on the leaderboards. MOUNTS AND NINJA TECHNIQUES Ride the crane, the bear or the kitsune, and equip your techniques: smoke bomb, shadow clone, shuriken, kawarimi and lightning step. Unlock the double jump and upgrade your kite as you run. CUSTOMIZE YOUR NINJA Outfits, masks, headwear, weapons, scarves, strike trails, kites and companions: try every piece live in the wardrobe before unlocking it. PROGRESS AT YOUR OWN PACE Missions, weekly challenges, ninja ranks, training dojo, collection and the “Way of the Ninja” season pass.
