What is Kunai?

KUNAI is a quirky, fast-paced action adventure / metroidvania. You play as Tabby, a tablet who joins the fight against a robot uprising. Use your kunai and ninja parkour skills to stop Lemonkus, the A.I.-gone-evil that almost wiped out all human life.

How long is the game?
First playthrough has an estimated 8-10 hour length but that will vary depending on your playstyle.

Procedurally generated world or is it a handcrafted one?
The latter. Kunai has a static, universal, map.

Difficulty options?
There’s just one standard difficulty in the game.

How does character progression work?
You’ll find ability granting items throughout the story and be able to purchase character upgrades with the currency you collect in the game.

Is there an in-game map?
Yes.

HD Rumble on Switch?
Yes.

Ultrawide support on PC?
No, the game forces a 16x9 aspect ratio.

What time does the game launch?
3PM CET.

PS4/XB1 port?
There was talk of them early on, but it depends on how successful the initial launch on PC/Switch is.

Physical release?
There’s nothing announced but the developers are open to it.

Looks fun.

Keeping an eye on this and wishlisted on steam, always down for a good metroidvania.

Interesting gameplay. Gonna check out after launches and see if it holds well. Who knows, I might even get it. Though I would prefer if they launch on PS4.

Metroidvania with elements of Bionic Commando!?!? Hell yes!

 

[Ailynn]

Buying this right away for the Switch- I can't get enough Metroidvania titles.


(Still trying to figure out how to defeat the last boss in Willy Jetman: Astromonkey's Revenge. I have everything maxed out, but cannot figure out how to break his shield halfway through the fight. Does anyone know what I'm missing?)

 

[Punished Miku]

Gameplay, control responsiveness, traversal all looks smooth as silk.

Shame they decided to make their artstyle a joke instead of taking it seriously.

I'll probably still get it. Looks fun to play at least.

Yo this looks great!

Looks really good, love the art style. Gonna add this to my list on Steam.
