'Kunai' (ALL) Playable PC Demo Available, Goes On Sale

Kunai is a Metroidvania adventure best explored through ninja-tier parkour and best survived with razor sharp combat reflexes.

A traumatic event has shaken the balance of the world. Human life has been mostly wiped out. Robots roam free across the earth. Take control of Tabby, a killer robot infused with the soul of an ancient warrior, and find out its true purpose in this world.

Players dish out swift death as Tabby, Kunai’s emotive, tablet-powered hero infused with the soul of an ancient Japanese warrior. Tabby boots up to find humanity on the brink of extinction thanks to a famed inventor’s botched AI creation, setting out to solve things as any consumer electronic warrior hybrid would: with heaps of violence. Slicing baddies and soaring through Kunai’s sprawling world with Tabby is a joyous escape, and toppling the land’s merciless bosses in all-out showdowns is immensely satisfying.

Start out with nothing, progress and increase in strength by killing enemy robots to unlock abilities, weapons and kickass ninja tricks to move in style. Explore a world filled with secrets, hidden passages and mysterious characters. Kunai is all about movement and agility. Use your ninja mobility to reach places where no normal robot could ever go.

Fighting through Kunai’s visually enrapturing world is a warrior’s delight, where right off the bat players have ample opportunities to reduce enemies to scrap metal while swinging on ropes across chasms, dashing up walls to lofty goals, and dropping in on unsuspecting targets. Kunai’s journey is dialled to 11 from the start, with every badass fight, supremely lethal upgrade and unearthed secret sending the adventure further off the charts. Bursts of action pop boldly across Kunai’s distinct art direction with sharp splashes of color accentuating attacks, making each battle an engrossing, thrilling spectacle.

Use your ninja mobility to explore the different pixel art environments of Kunai with its minimalistic palettes that sublimes its aesthetic while Tabby makes cute faces.

The adorable but deadly Kunai is now unleashing damage on your PC via a free demo on Steam, with an eShop demo to follow shortly.

Additionally, Kunai is currently 30% off on Steam and the eShop, with each platform’s deal ending on April 12 and April 19 respectively.
