A Deeper Dive into The Hidden Ones
Set within the rich lore of Hitori No Shita, The Hidden Ones delivers a thrilling martial arts experience infused with Eastern philosophies like Taoism and Yin Yang. The game emphasizes character mastery, encouraging players to understand their chosen fighter's unique abilities and philosophical underpinnings.
Players will immerse themselves in a cinematic narrative centered around the Outcasts, facing progressively challenging bosses throughout multiple levels. Each boss encounter is directly linked to a chapter in the overarching martial arts saga, adapting and evolving alongside the player's skill.
Multiple game modes are available, including a competitive Duel mode featuring intense player-versus-player combat and an innovative action roulette mechanic that allows for the temporary acquisition of other characters' abilities mid-battle. A challenging Trial mode offers a gauntlet of increasingly difficult boss fights, demanding mastery of various characters and fighting styles for survival.
