Lock onto enemies with Tab and use Q / E to cycle between multiple targets.

A well-timed block with RMB can save you from devastating attacks. Timing is everything.

Hold L Ctrl to sneak walk. Get the drop on enemies before they see you.

⚠️ Known Issues & Workarounds

We’re aware and working on it — here’s how to navigate in the meantime

Workaround Available

Jutsu Tree — Add Points One at a Time

When leveling up attributes (health, chakra recovery, etc.) only add one jutsu point at a time. Add the point → hit “Apply” → then add the next. You can select multiple different attributes at once, just not the same one twice before applying. If you don’t follow this, only one point will register.

In Progress

Combat System Overhaul

The current combat system feels stiff. A complete overhaul is a high-priority development task — reworked hit detection, combo chains, parry system, and enemy AI. Combat reborn.

In Progress

Drop Visibility

Party members currently can’t see the lobby leader’s item drops. Full loot replication for all players is coming in a future patch.

📝 A Note from the Developer

My vision for Shinobi Unleashed has always been to create a genuine, open-world game that evolves over time — a world where you, the player, can truly feel the progression of a shinobi rising from nothing to unleash your ultimate power. This is the game I’ve always wanted to play, an immersive universe built from the ground up.

As a solo developer, this is a massive undertaking. Your support and patience mean the world to me as I build this experience piece by piece. Thank you for being a part of this journey.
