A Deep Dive into the Game's World
The Hidden Ones immerses players in a thrilling martial arts brawler, deeply rooted in the Hitori No Shita universe. The game blends Eastern philosophies like Taoism and Yin Yang with modern settings and intense martial arts combat.
Players will explore a cinematic storyline, unraveling the mysteries of the Outcasts. The gameplay features multiple levels with progressively challenging boss battles, each reflecting a chapter from the source material's rich mythology. Bosses evolve alongside the player, ensuring a constantly dynamic challenge.
Multiple game modes cater to diverse preferences. "Duel" mode pits players against each other in intense showdowns, while an "action roulette" mechanic allows for the unpredictable acquisition of opponent abilities mid-battle. A "trial" mode presents a gauntlet of increasingly difficult boss encounters, demanding mastery of diverse characters and fighting styles.
