Zen: Intergalactic Ninja

Dive into Zen: Intergalactic Ninja, the action-packed side-scroller inspired by the cult comic book hero. You play as Zen, a militant environmentalist ninja dispatched by sharp-minded, green, pointy-headed aliens to cleanse Earth of pollution at any cost. Combining classic side-scrolling thrills with isometric 3D segments, you’ll run, jump, and slice your way through hordes of toxic threats using Zen’s trusty photon stick and a host of powerful power-ups. With razor-sharp combat and a heroic mission, Zen’s quest to unearth and defeat the ultimate polluter, Lord Contaminous, will keep you on the edge of your seat.
