| Ninja Legends Coming Out of Early Access with Archery Update | 2019-10-24 | We are excited to announce that Ninja Legends is coming out of Early Access with an Archery Update! The small slice of archery in Ninja Legends has always drawn outsized attention, and we're now happy to introduce this Archery Update that will make ranged Ninja skills a much bigger part of the game. This update also represents work towards our long-term goal to provide a complete Ninja experience in VR. We have six unique levels categorized into Archery Defense and Archery Targets. David provides an overview of each in the Dev Log. Here are some quick notes as well. Archery Defense I -- Use your bow from the rooftops to protect the dojo from |
| Ninja Legends Boss Balance Updates + PAX Announcement | 2019-08-14 | Ninja Legends recently launched on Quest and the resulting influx of players and feedback helped us evaluate the state of the game. As a studio, we are now splitting our time between building new features for Ninja Legends and reacting to feedback from our players. We wanted to let you know that we’ve read every piece of feedback that we can find on Reddit, in the reviews, and in our Discord. Yesterday, we released an update to address a couple issues we’ve seen. The first change is to adjust how level 9 plays (Bamboo Forest Clearing).

| Ninja Update: Improvements to assist 360 degree play! | 2019-07-20 | https://media.giphy.com/media/XeY80m1Gpufq5RfFGj/giphy.gif Better experience for managing 360 attacks We heard from the community about some issues with 360 play, and we agreed that we needed to improve it. Let us know what you think of this change. The change: we added arrows in Novice and Ninja difficulties that will direct you to enemies that are about to attack. We changed the snap turning to work with the arrows, making it so that if you snap turn in that direction it will turn all the way to the enemy that is about to attack. To turn on snap turning go to the settings. On Vive clicking the touchpad on the given hand will snap you in tha |

Full launch to Quest, Rift and Viveport will come in August! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/34795562/3e0188a2bef5cfa079ec21a4bee0df551e0c2ca6.png Set in feudal Japan, Ninja legends pits players against swarms of cooperative enemies attacking from 360 degrees as they attempt to recover the stolen Shadow Scrolls.
