Overview
- Players can equip two complete setups and switch on the fly, creating powerful synergies between samurai and ninja play.
- The new Ninja style accelerates movement and attacks, with timed swaps used to parry heavy enemy bursts for big openings.
- Team Ninja frames the maps as curated, multi-area 'open-field' levels with optional bases and objectives rather than a true open world.
- Preview sessions featured time-hopping to the Bakumatsu period and introduced new lead character Tokugawa Takechiyo.
- Critics praise the expanded systems and density but note underwhelming visuals and heavier menu and loot complexity, with the studio saying the game remains beatable using a single stance.
