About the Game

Sir, times have changed—ninjas need gun licenses now. You’re a modern ninja. Ancient ninjutsu? You’ve got it. But who says a ninja can’t love shotguns? In this world, shurikens are too slow, and throwing knives need picking up; a full-auto rifle just makes sense. Welcome to “Senbonzakura” turned “Metal Storm”—honoring the most traditional identity with the fiercest firepower.

Two modes, double the fun (and double the reasons to retry).

Mission Mode: Sneak in, complete the objective, then—let’s be real—mostly you “accidentally” set off the alarm and shoot your way out. Stealth is a skill, but killing every witness is also perfect stealth, right?

Wave Survival: Enemies arrive like takeout, wave after wave—only they deliver a beating combo. You only breathe after clearing them all. Don’t ask how many are left; the answer is “until your finger goes numb.”

Kill enemies, get loot—makes total sense. Why do zombies drop coins? Why do soldiers carry brand-new shotguns? Doesn’t matter. What matters is every kill has a chance to drop gold and weapons—we call it “fallen comrades’ inheritance.” Take this windfall and enjoy a shopping spree—more addictive than payday.

Your arsenal dwarfs any ninja tool bag. From suppressed pistols to burst rifles, from one-shot sniper rifles to “great equalizer” explosives, your weapon choice is wildly free. Feel like a quiet assassin today? No problem. Want to shoulder a rocket launcher tomorrow and give zombies a little fireworks show? Absolutely. Your ninja path is decided by the bullets in your chamber.

Enemies do crossovers too? You face not only classic slow zombies but also soldiers who shoot and take cover. Picture this: you’re gracefully dodging bullets when a drooling zombie gives you a passionate hug from behind. This mixed tag-team of robot apocalypse and zombie outbreak keeps combat anything but boring.

Ready to inherit the ninja way? If traditional ninjas feel too hard and pure shooting too dull, this game—a forced fusion of assassination art and explosion art—is for you. Jump in, write a haiku with bullets, paint an ukiyo‑e with explosions. Remember our motto: a ninja’s ultimate secret techniques are cash power and heavy firepower.
