Chikubi Ninja - A rather decent action platformer for the MSX 2 by Imanok

Are those supposed to be eyes? ;)

It's nearly the end of 2025 and with the competition still ongoing, we've been informed that Imanok has entered a rather decent action platformer for the MSX 2 called 'Chikubi Jinja'. A game that the MSXDev page says "it comes with a groovy PSG soundtrack, where sharp reflexes and quick decisions are key to defeating every opponent." In light of this news if you have an MSX 2 or an MSX2+/turboR, then make sure to check out the footage and the download linked below.

Here's the story. "Play as the last Chikubi Ninja, who returns to their village to find it destroyed by the rival clan when they were out… running an errand. Armed with rage, they decide to retaliate. Of course, rage is not your only weapon, you have 2 actual real weapons: a Katana that you can use as much as you want, and shurikens, which obviously get spend when you throw them. Armed with those weapons, you will face all the shinobi from the Karakuro clan, (not to be confused with Karakiro village, that is a different franchise) Go as the last of your clan to find revenge, even if violence only leads to more violence, and revenge will leave you hollow at the end, the crime against your village won’t go down unpunished."
