Ninja Legends Coming Out of Early Access with Archery Update

We are excited to announce that Ninja Legends is coming out of Early Access with an Archery Update!

The small slice of archery in Ninja Legends has always drawn outsized attention, and we're now happy to introduce this Archery Update that will make ranged Ninja skills a much bigger part of the game. This update also represents work towards our long-term goal to provide a complete Ninja experience in VR.

We have six unique levels categorized into Archery Defense and Archery Targets. David provides an overview of each in the Dev Log. Here are some quick notes as well.

Archery Defense

• I -- Use your bow from the rooftops to protect the dojo from an onslaught of enemy forces. This represents a prequel to the Ninja Legends story.

• II -- A challenging rooftop shooting gallery that precedes Archery Defense I chronologically. Prevent sprinting enemies from exiting through the Torii Gate.

Special stop-time exploding arrows can be charged and fired as well in Archery Defense.

Archery Targets (4 Unique Challenges):

• I -- Set pattern of targets near the waterfall scored for time and accuracy.

• II -- Tight quarters challenge in the pagoda that mixes marksmanship, dodging and deflecting.

• III -- Straight on timed targets in the courtyard.

• IV -- 360 degree timed and sometimes hidden targets in the bamboo forest.

Bonus: Bow to Base Game as Primary Weapon We are also bringing the longbow into the base melee game. Rapid fire bow action on the ground against swarming enemies really refreshes story mode. We have been pleasantly surprised by how much we (and testers) enjoyed this mode.

We've had a lot of amazing beta testers from this community who have help us fine-tune these levels. Thank you! Your feedback and encouragement have been invaluable! We intend to continue work on the archery mode to add Archery Defense III and more enemies in the "Defense" levels overall. We hope you all enjoy the update!
