The Last Ninja Collection has obliterated its crowdfunding goal in a little under one hour.
The Last Ninja is a puzzle, fighting, and action-adventure game all in one. First released for the Commodore 64, it puts you in the tabi of burgeoning ninja Armakuni, whose quest is to assassinate the evil shogun and retrieve an ancient, powerful scroll. Combat is challenging and varied – particularly for a game from 1987, The Last Ninja boasts a sizable variety of weapons, including shurikens and smoke bombs, and your enemies get considerably stronger with each new zone. A game of the year winner back in the day, it catalyzed the entire Last Ninja series, which is now making a valiant return thanks to a big new collection.
Created by System 3, the independent developer behind the original game, The Last Ninja Collection contains seven hits, including the entire Last Ninja series, the re-released version, Ninja Remix, and the beat 'em ups International Karate, IK+, and Bangkok Knights. The collection was only launched on Kickstarter on Tuesday September 10, but in less than an hour it's already been fully funded – in fact, as of this writing, it's more than doubled its funding goal.
The Last Ninja Collection is coming to PC in 2025. If you want to contribute to the crowdfunding campaign in the meantime, just head here.
