Wind of Shuriken

About

Wind of Shuriken is a fast-paced platformer where you play an intergalactic warrior armed with a katana and shurikens. Fight through levels across four planets, slicing enemies and solving environmental puzzles. The game mixes precise combat with retro arcade vibes, letting you play solo or team up with others in co-op mode. Movement feels tight, with a focus on speed and agility as you navigate floating debris fields and alien architecture. Each level tests your reflexes with timing-based challenges and boss battles that require quick weapon swaps. The game stands out for its retro-inspired visuals and smooth multiplayer options. While the story about dismantling a warlike clan leans into familiar sci-fi tropes, the execution keeps things lively with colorful set pieces. Players appreciate the responsive controls and the challenge of mastering its combo system. Available on major consoles and PC since 2021, it’s a solid pick for fans of old-school platformers with a sci-fi twist. The lack of a campaign for solo players beyond story mode might turn some away, but co-op makes it easier to tackle tougher sections.
