I-Ninja

About

I-Ninja casts you as a masked ninja in a blue suit slicing through levels with dual katanas. The game blends platforming with combat as you leap between spots, dodge hazards, and carve up enemies. The character’s expressive brow adds charm to the cartoonish world. Environments shift from indoor halls to outdoor zones, all rendered in cel-shaded visuals that stand apart in the 3D platforming scene of the early 2000s. What makes it pop is the over-the-top moves. Scale walls, ride spinning spheres, and hover using a blade-powered copter. The game leans into high-energy action with tricks and manga-inspired techniques. While it hasn’t aged perfectly, retro platformer fans might appreciate its bold style and energetic gameplay. Originally released in 2003, it’s a relic of a time when 3D platformers aimed for flashy flair over finesse.
