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.

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.
- 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.
As mentioned before, in addition to tweaks and bug fixes, we are aiming at a significant content update announcement soon, so stay tuned! As always, please share your thoughts and feedback!
This post is about scoring! The scoreboards are starting to fill up, and we've received a few questions about scoring works. So here we are. The image provides a good summary, and here's restatement of it in text.
How is the score calculated?
We will share some more enemy visuals later on highlighting crits, but for now I can say, "when in doubt, attack the head."
Set in feudal Japan, Ninja legends pits players against swarms of cooperative enemies attacking from 360 degrees as they attempt to recover the stolen Shadow Scrolls. The intuitive combat is fun to pick up but hard to master. Wield Katanas, Claws, Staff, Gauntlets or Naginata and pair with Shadow Bow, Ropedart and more special abilities.
