Karlstad, Sweden – August 24, 2024 – Clear River Games, a video game publisher specialising in classic and retro games, in conjunction with Japanese publisher and developer City Connection, announced today Ninja JaJaMaru: Yokai Night Parade, an exhilarating new hack 'n' slash Action RPG coming soon to Steam, Nintendo® Switch 2 and PlayStation®5.
Bringing a funky 90s flavor to modern gaming platforms, Ninja JaJaMaru: Yokai Night Parade serves as the spiritual successor to Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great Yokai Battle. This fresh entry in the franchise fuses classic fast-paced ninja action with a distinctive "Yokai × Hip-Hop" fusion; a stylized world where traditional Japanese folklore meets 90s street culture and rhythm.
Ninja JaJaMaru: Yokai Night Parade channels retro 90s vibes, allowing players to leap across platforms and crush foes with nostalgic aerial stomps, or make use of the fluid combat system. Execute multi-hit melee combos or fire off unlimited ranged attacks all featuring unique weapon types with distinct attack animations and actions. Then, finish off foes with nine rad ultimate skills, each with 5 tiers of upgrades.
To celebrate this fly reveal, the official Steam Store page is now live, and the game will make its first public appearance in the Pixel Arcadia digital showcase taking place on August 24th. Fans can also get their groove on with a playable demo at CRG's booth in hall 10,2 at gamescom. If you can't attend gamescom don’t be buggin’, and take a chill pill because you can soon experience this nostalgic yet bold reinvention when it launches across Steam, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5.
