What is Shing!?

A side-scrolling beat 'em up about ninja warriors fighting demons in a land of mythical monsters and machines. You fight through groups of enemies and bosses, chain attacks, switch characters mid-fight, and turn enemy abilities against them. An alternative control scheme lets you attack with buttons.

For you if...

+you want four-player co-op, either locally or online
+you enjoy wisecracking characters and a humorous tone

Not for you if...

−you want a story-focused game with little combat
