Performance profile
Released in November 1986, The Ninja predates modern GPU acceleration as we know it today. It runs effortlessly on virtually any current hardware, including integrated graphics and entry-level laptops — framerate is limited by the engine, not the GPU.
The Ninja is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.
Extremely light — The Ninja runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
Storyline
Throughout your Journey to the Ohkami Castle, you'll battle evil Ninja Warriors. Once there, you must destroy their leader, Gyokuro. Only then Will you be able to save the princess from her prison Inside the castle.
