Greetings Maiden Nation! This is your Maiden Commander speaking.

We couldn't be happier to announce that our first ever MAIDEN+ EXCLUSIVE title Kunoichi "Sword of the Assassin" is OFFICIALLY AVAILABLE TO PLAY NOW!!!

READY TO PLAY? CLICK HERE TO PLAY NOW!!!

Kunoichi "Sword of the Assassin" is an action and stealth EARLY ACCESS game developed and published by Maiden Gaming built with the new UNREAL 5 ENGINE for the Windows PC platform available exclusively on Patreon. Players take the role of Takashida, a Kunoichi tasked with avenging her father's death at the hands of the Yokai Clan. It features role-playing, strategy, action and stealth set in feudal Japan. Kunoichi pays homage in many ways to genres of entertainment in gaming and film most notably DOS platform game Sword of the Samurai from Microprose (my favorite game growing up), Ninja Scroll (my favorite anime growing up), Kill Bill (my favorite film), Lady Snow Blood (film that heavily inspired Kill Bill) and more.

PLEASE HELP US TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT KUNOICHI!!!

THIS IS AN EARLY ACCESS GAME!!!

Please keep in mind that Kunoichi "Sword of the Assassin" is an EARLY ACCESS game. And beyond that this is the first ever build of Kunoichi. As with any Early Access software it will have incomplete features and A LOT of bugs. But rest assured that we will do all that is in our power to improve the game with your feedback. Our goal is to allow players to provide their feedback and their suggestions to participate in the development of the game as well as test out some of the core systems in place. Please be sure to view the KNOWN BUGS section of the game for an update on known issues and check out our Patreon post detailing our current progress and interest in the direction of the game.

PAYING HOMAGE!!!

Kunoichi pays homage in many ways to genres of entertainment in gaming and film most notably DOS platform game Sword of the Samurai from Microprose even at times using the same dialog (my favorite game growing up), Tenchu, Ninja Scroll (my favorite anime growing up), Kill Bill (my favorite film), Lady Snow Blood (film that heavily inspired Kill Bill) and more. These occurrences in game even down to using some of the same text from the DOS game IS INTENDED.

HISTORICAL ACCURACY, NAMES AND THE LIKE!!!

Again we would like to emphasize that Kunoichi "Sword of the Assassin" is an EARLY ACCESS game. Logos, character models, names of clans, groups, governments, positions of authority and locations will not be accurate from the start. These details will be changed and improved upon as the game is developed. We would also like to clarify that we are not looking to create a game that perfectly reflects Feudal Japan and it's complicated history. We will at all times prioritize enjoyment in playing the game and our ability to convey it's setting ABOVE historical accuracy. Kunoichi "Sword of the Assassin" exists in a fictional world that loosely references real life governments, locations and groups. You may also wonder why the voice acting is in Japanese with Maiden Gaming being an American company. This also goes back to our love of Japanese film and anime. To me, it just sounds better with the Japanese voice acting. It is a personal preference.

PLANNED FEATURES!!!

- Relationship System
- Character Customization
- Clothes Dyeing System
- Adult Sex Scenes

First of all: Congratulations to the whole Maiden Gaming Team for releasing Kunoichi into EA. You've come pretty far and i wish you the best of luck and success to reach ever higher and higher. :) The core gameplay in the Trailer looked solid so far and now i know why i really liked what i see, being influenced by such great games/anime/movies makes it just feel nostalgic and reminds you of good times. Now a few questions: Is the "Sixth Sense" (red marked enemies behind walls) always present, depending on difficulty or some kind of passive skill? Does the customization (added later) include the whole character, like hairstyle/color, skin color, body proportions, extras (like tattoos, piercings, etc) or will it be limited? (seeing the beautiful kimonos you made in combination with makeup like a geisha/palewhite skin and traditional hairstyle would be awesome or a ganguro with her tanned/dark skin and tattoos would be cool) And the last question for now, the first boss in the Trailer dropped Dual Blades. So can we expect a variety of Weapons? Thanks for your hard work, youre doing great. Thats it from me for now ^^

Is there any way to remove pubic hair?

Ilvaite_Elva

Even from a Japanese point of view, the world view is well done! The only piece of advice I have is that the choice of BGM is a mismatch. Songs such as the main menu are similar to "enka". In terms of game balance, it's like listening to country music in a medieval setting….

Ilvaite_Elva

One more thing, ninjas and kunoichi don't carry their swords on their waists, they carry them on their backs.

EllipticalOrbit

That’s actually sorta false. Carrying it on their side (in the fashion of a samurai) gives major advantage before engaging, in that it allows for their blade to actually be drawn practically. Swords would only be put on their back if it was a greatsword/any weapon that’s heavy to lug around or they needed to do a excessive amount of climbing. But Ninja’s usually used Katana, Ninjatō, etc.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write, your interest in Kunoichi and your decision to support it's development! We sincerely appreciate it AND you! :) As far as your questions go I believe the red marker you are referring to is the one that indicates whether or not the enemies health is low enough to Shadow Kill, can't speak too much on customization as we don't even know if that will be what players vote for us to work on next but feel free to suggest what you would like to see. I will say that we definitely wouldn't expect the same level as customization on LoM. The game already has 4 weapon types not including the hand to hand combat. Thank you again! :)

leagueofmaidens

Thank you for your inquiry! Also thank you so much for your decision to help support our development. Unfortunately, no there is no way to remove pubic hair. We apologize for the inconvenience.

leagueofmaidens

Thank you so much for the compliment. We sincerely appreciate them. On the feedback of the use of Enka it is quite often used in this way and was a purposeful choice. You can google "Lady Snow Blood" as an example.

Ilvaite_Elva

Well, there are some comments based on impressions, but that's what I thought.

leagueofmaidens

Ohhhh please don't take it the wrong way. We SINCERELY appreciate your sharing. I just wanted to clarify the reasoning behind the choice of using Enka. :) We're just fanboys over here lol. &lt;3

Huniken

Oh I hop to set up Kunoichi on my steam deck!! Tenchue lover here, thanks for making this game!!! :D

ADynasty

Supporting what i like is the least i can do and i appreciate the effort you put into your games :) Coming back to the first question to clarify, what i meant was the red silhouette that shows up where enemies are behind obstacles. Customization is definitely something that is low priority at this moment, was just curious and its best to wait until it comes up later. Having more weapons than only the Katana is such a pleasant surprise, i have to try them out as soon as i get to drop them. That reminds me, there is a Tab in your inventory that says "Glider/Event", does that mean what i think it does? Special Events for Kunoichi over time? Thanks again^^

leagueofmaidens

Ahhhhh ok now I understand. It used to be a skill to activate but after testing i found missions more frustrating without it. After a while I just decided to leave it on permanently. It just made missions more fun and less frustrating. And yes that is what we would hope to have down the line for event items. :)

I found a few things. (1) horse call only works at the beginning of the map, when I call from any other point further up the road, the horse doesn't come up. (2) One dude I was fighting lost his weapon, but the animation and effects were still like he was holding it after he lost it

How do you activate uncensored mode? When I take off my gear I still have underwear

Any chance of seeing foot wraps and gi type outfits?

Bicho Rojo

when you press the TAB key on you keyboard, you go to a menu. There, on the bottom left, you will see an option to include or remove the underwear =)

leagueofmaidens

Absolutely! Are you on our Discord? If so please feel free to drop us some example photos. We would love to see more specifically what you would like to see in Kunoichi.

Is there a specific channel in the discord to post examples?
