Watch our Kunai gameplay from PAX East
We got to step into the shoes of a killer robot in this broken world, hacking and slashing our way through the metroidvania on Switch.
"A traumatic event has shaken the balance of the world. Human life has been mostly wiped out. Robots roam free across the earth."
Sounds like a pretty rough premise, right? Well, this is where TurtleBlaze and The Arcade Crew throws you in with their game Kunai, but don't worry, as you'll play as a killer robot called Tabby that's been infused with the soul of an ancient warrior, so you can dish out some damage in this broken world.
This game is described as a "ninja Metroidvania" in which you unlock new items and abilities by killing your robot adversaries, and we actually got to play it at PAX East. We even have the gameplay ready to share with you below, so you can see how it handles.
