“Ninja Assassin” Game Slashes
Through the App Store

Now Available for the iPhone and
iPod touch Based on Ninja Assassin, the Upcoming Motion Picture Presented by
Warner Bros. Pictures, in Association with Legendary Pictures and Dark Castle
Entertainment

Warner Bros. Digital Distribution
and Legendary Digital are converting iPhone and iPod touch-users’ fingers into
deadly chain blades, razor-sharp shurikens and lethal katanas in Ninja Assassin,
a brutal, action-packed game unleashed today on the App store.

Ninja Assassin is a stealthy side
scrolling hack n’ slash action game featuring an innovative touch-based, gesture
control scheme. The player controls a single combatant against a number of
different mobs and bosses identical to the primary enemies found in the Ninja
Assassin movie. The gameplay is intense yet intuitive, while the gesture system
allows the player to pull off stunning attacks that provide rich, over-the-top
visuals along with a feeling of empowerment.

The game follows Raizo, one of the
deadliest assassins in the world, after he was taken from the streets as a child
and transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose
very existence is considered a myth. Haunted by the merciless execution of his
friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free and vanishes. Now he waits in the shadows,
preparing to exact his revenge.

Ninja Assassin’s story mode is
designed around the film narrative and organized into four acts. In addition to
story mode, players can experience the ultimate challenge of “survival mode”
where they must outlast wave after wave of enemies. Players can then upload and
share their high scores online within the game or post to their Facebook page
for the world to see.
