Ninja Playground

In this single-player arcade combat and sword-slicing VR experience, wield powerful energy weapons and abilities against an army of corrupt cyber-machines sent to hunt down and destroy the last of your kind.

Battle through 30 missions filled with close-range duels, ranged laser fire, boss fights, bonus rounds, and a firing range where you can sharpen your reflexes against different projectile types.

Fight How You Want

Block and counter enemies up close, or throw your plasma weapon in a spinning attack to slice robots from a distance. Absorb energy from defeated enemies to charge powerful abilities, slow time, or unleash a kinetic blast when you are overwhelmed and surrounded.

Weapons & Customization

Unlock new weapon types as you progress, each changing how you approach combat. Customize the color of each blade on the three main weapon styles, and choose between automatic or manual activation for more control. Dual-bladed weapons can even activate only the reverse blade for advanced combat options.

  • Single blades
  • Dual blades
  • Reverse blades
  • Dual wielding

Skill-Based Defense

Your weapon movement matters. Deflect laser fire back at enemies, counter incoming sword attacks, and use spinning strikes to block attacks. Controlled swings keep your blade stable, while frantic swinging can overheat the power core and temporarily short-circuit your weapon.

Collectibles

Find Jump World toys from our 1st game and Shin Zero comics to unlock more weapons and items for your apartment.

Stellar Action!

The swordplay in this game is so sharp it feels dangerous to touch the controller. The core mechanic relies on a perfect-parry system where deflecting enemy laser fire back into their stupid robotic faces fills up your "Overdrive" meter. Once that meter is full? Time slows down, the synthwave music kicks into overdrive, and you become a Cyberpunk Android Rogue Warrior on steroids!

Are You Kidding Me?

How is this game not gaining more traction? The whole vibe is incredible - I feel like a cyberpunk Jedi as I'm slicing through enemies! The window in the hub is a great addition, and I found myself just watching the cars fly by. If this game gets Quest Achievements, I will hunt every single one. Awesome game.

AWESOME LIGHTSABER ACTION

Shin Zero delivers exactly the kind of fast-paced sword combat that feels amazing in VR. Deflecting lasers, slicing robots and throwing your plasma blade creates a constant flow of action that never gets old. The combat feels responsive, the abilities add great variety and the progression keeps introducing new challenges. If you enjoy action games and futuristic sword fighting, this is an easy recommendation.

Cyberpunk Ninja Mayhem at Its Finest!

Buckle up, future warriors—Shin Zero is here to drop you into a neon-soaked, cyberpunk paradise where the streets are slick with rain and the air hums with the electric glow of a dystopian metropolis! This isn’t just another ninja game—it’s a high-octane, blade-slinging, laser-deflecting extravaganza that fuses cyberpunk aesthetics with samurai precision in the most spectacular way possible. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a cybernetic ronin from a Blade Runner x Ghost in the Shell crossover, THIS. IS. YOUR. GAME. Prepare to slice, dice, and obliterate waves of robotic foes with the coolest katana this side of the digital divide! You’ve got options—because why settle for one way to murder machines when you can have three? Swing your razor-sharp blade with honor and carve through circuits like a digital ronin, or go full Deadpool and hurl your katana with deadly precision, watching as it slicks through the air before returning to your hand like a loyal cyber-dog. But wait—there’s more! Once you’ve racked up enough energy, unleash your super-powered finisher—a Dragon Ball Z-style Kamehameha that turns your foes into a shower of sparks and scrap metal! The screen literally explodes with energy as you unleash hell on your enemies. Oh, but the fun doesn’t stop there! Shin Zero lets you play with physics in ways that feel insanely satisfying. Got a laser pointed at your cyber-ninja hide? No problem. Deflect those beams mid-air and send them right back to the jerks who fired them. It’s like a high-tech game of hot potato with death rays, and you’re the undisputed champion. Every encounter is a dance of death, where your reflexes and strategy turn the tide between victory and virtual doom. And let’s talk customization—because what’s a ninja without style? Unlock a treasure trove of katanas, each with its own unique flair, from sleek monofilament blades that cut through metal like butter to ornate energy-infused swords that hum with power.

Looks great!

Looks amazing tho I had some fps issues and stuttering, but for this kind of wave shooter (wave slicer?) it does the job well.
