You have faced aliens, beasts, and even your fellow ninja, but a new, greater challenge awaits…Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is coming to Ninjala! Players will want to master their swordplay and breathing techniques for this event, because a lot of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba goodies were revealed today:
- Avatar Outfits: dress up as Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Kyojuro Rengoku, Muzan Kibutsuji, and more
- Ninja-Gums: slice through your opponents like Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Rengoku, and other members of the Demon Slayer Corps with these weapon skins

2021 Roadmap: Season 7
Today’s 1st Anniversary Celebration Stream also revealed that Ninjala’s Season 7 will debut a new Featured Battle called Last Ninja Standing. Gather 8 of your friends and fight until the last one standing wins in this 8-player battle royale! All Gum Weapons and Shinobi Cards are allowed, and players will duke it out on the WNA Academy stage. There are no second chances here—once you go down, you cannot respawn. Do you have what it takes to come out on top?
Video-Test
Mit Ninjala veröffentlicht GungHo Online Entertainment einen Free-to-Play-Titel für die Switch, der zumindest visuell an Splatoon 2 erinnert. Ob die Action-Keilerei spielerisch an die Erfolge der Konkurrenz anknüpfen kann, verraten wir euch im Video-Test!
Oder das Metacritic nicht alles ist und feste "Release"-Wertungen bei sich entwickelnden F2P-Spielen nicht so der Bringer sind.
(Ich habe das Spiel nicht gespielt, weiß also nicht wie berechtigt hier die Wertungen sind.)
Was lernen wir daraus?
Der Meta-Score kann noch so mies sein: Wenn das Spiel für umme gespielt werden kann, kann es trotzdem ein "Hit" werden.
