Ninjala shows off its colourful, Splatoon-spirited action

GungHo Online Entertainment has released a lengthy gameplay video for its upcoming multiplayer gum-'em-up Ninjala, which arrives on Nintendo Switch in May. The clip sees eight wacky characters fighting it out in Last Person Standing action.

Ninjala blends over-the-top, dynamic arena fighting action with melee combat and amusing "ninja skills", such as the ability to disguise oneself as a piece of scenery to enable sneak attacks. Ninjala emphasises verticality in its gameplay, with its roster equipping rooftop-running parkour skills to traverse the landscape. We also get to see some of the fun character designs players will be able to construct with the game's deep customisation options.
