Ninja Commando is a classic top-down run-and-gun action game from SNK that blends intense shooting with fast melee combat. Set across multiple time periods, the game follows three elite ninja warriors as they travel through history to stop an evil force threatening the timeline. From feudal Japan and ancient China to a dystopian future, each stage offers unique environments packed with enemies and hazards.
Gameplay focuses on constant movement, quick reactions, and crowd control. Players can fire shuriken and ranged weapons while also engaging enemies up close with sword attacks. Powerful ninjutsu abilities provide screen-clearing attacks, offering brief moments of relief during overwhelming encounters. The top-down perspective and dense enemy waves create a frantic arcade feel that rewards aggression and precision.
Visually, Ninja Commando features detailed pixel art, colorful effects, and distinctive character designs that stand out among SNK’s action catalog. The energetic soundtrack keeps the momentum high as difficulty steadily increases. Challenging but rewarding, the game remains a cult favorite for players who enjoy retro arcade action with a unique time-traveling twist. The Windows version preserves the original experience for modern systems.
