On Thursday, City Connection released Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great Yokai Battle + Hell on PC via Steam.

The game is a 2D action platformer based on JALECO’s classic 80s game, Ninja JaJaMaru-kun, but The Great Yokai Battle + Hell features more than 20 playable characters, including both yokai (spirits) and ninja families, and can be played by one or two players.

Here’s the official breakdown of Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great Yokai Battle + Hell from City Connection:

The army of yokai is attacking!

Join JaJaMaru, BlueJaJa, and friends to fight back!

●Simple rules and flashy ninja skills!

Basic controls are movement, attack, and jumping.

The stage is cleared by defeating all the yokai that keep coming.

There is a health gauge on both the player and yokai and once the player loses their health, the game is over.

Use your shifty Ninja skills by jumping and attacking your yokai.

Destroy all enemies to clear the stage.

Attack the enemy’s footing or destroy enemies to pick up powerup items such as Invisible Potions or the Minecart, which will allow the player to plow through enemies.

Activate ninjutsu action through collecting scrolls – such as flood and fire ninjutsu.

Then, Ninpo Gama Pakkun will trigger fever time. You can swallow stunned enemies with Gama Pakkun.

The well-known “Gamapackun” also makes an appearance!

●Unlock your collection!

If you collect a certain number of Gold or Souls, you can exchange them for Jalecoins and be able to play more characters.

Enjoy the variety of characters with unique moves.

You can also collect Jalecoins to unlock songs or game documents
You can enjoy old BGMs from JaJaMaru classics or enjoy new song and arrangements for this new title.

There are also game documents that are only going to be able to be seen in this game.

●Hell Mode is now available!

Collect the Jalecoins available in Normal Mode and fulfill the conditions to unlock the Hell Mode.

You’ll be faced with stages you’ve never seen before, and some tough monsters.

The heroes, JaJaMaru and BlueJaJa have also been upgraded to Super JaJaMaru and Super BlueJaJa.

When you level up, Super JaJaMaru becomes a power type.

And the Super BlueJaja will be powered up as a long-range shooting type that excels in wide-range attacks.
