Press release:
London, U.K. – 6 July 2023.
The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher Marvelous Europe and Japan-based indie games developer Nao Games, are today very proud and happy to announce that their ultra-fast Roguelite “Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun“, is coming to PC via Steam on August 2nd, 2023.

To celebrate the upcoming release, a Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun pre-release demo is now available to download and play via Steam until July 17. Visitors of BitSummit Let’s Go!!, Japan’s largest independent games festival, can also play the demo on the showfloor, July 14-16.

In Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun you are a common pickpocket, transformed by the cataclysm into a lethal Ninja with lightning mobility. The Ramen Seller becomes a Samurai.

The Maiko becomes a killer Geisha. Your domain of petty crime becomes a frenzied neon world of shogun castles, magic traps and parachuting assassins. Someone has ensnared you in a loop of chaos… if not to kill you, then to protect you from something worse.

Set at the heart of a cataclysmic event in Edo Japan, Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun is an ultrafast roguelite inspired by Japanese folklore where you must master violent precision platforming in this fusion of extreme speed and one-button controls that will leave you dead and wanting more.

Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun is set to launch on Windows PC via Steam on the August 2, 2023. For more information follow solo developer, Nao Games on Twitter @nao_peca or wishlist it on Steam here.
