What is Mononoke Slashdown?
Mononoke Slashdown is a 2D scrolling action game starring Kagemaru, a ninja apprentice defending a city overrun by ghosts and monsters.
Combat uses a katana, kunai daggers, and ninjutsu techniques. Defeated enemies provide in-game currency, which can be spent on weapons, armor, and ninjutsu upgrades. Each stage includes secret challenges, while missions guide Kagemaru’s effort to reclaim the city for its people.
