About
Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great Yokai Battle + Hell is 2D action game. This is newest interaction in the Ninja JaJaMaru series introducing new controls and game mechanics to the series.
Normal Mode
This iteration has the most yokai that JaJaMaru and his friends have ever battled against. Fans of the series will see yokai from the past but will also be introduced to all new yokai making their series debut.
Collect over 20 playable characters—each with different powers and characteristics.
You can also play two-player mode simultaneously while sharing a single screen.
Hell Mode
Collect the Jalecoins available in Normal Mode and fulfill the conditions to unlock the Hell Mode. You’ll be faced with stages you’ve never seen before, and some tough monsters.
The heroes, JaJaMaru and BlueJaJa have also been upgraded to Super JaJaMaru and Super BlueJaJa. When you level up, Super JaJaMaru becomes a power type. And the Super BlueJaJa becomes a speed type. Collect the Experience Items that appear when you defeat the yokais and aim for further growth! If you clear all the new chapters…!?
Simple Rules and Flashy Ninja Skills
There is a health gauge on both the player and enemy and once the player loses their health, the game is over. Use your shifty Ninja skills by jumping and attacking your enemy. Destroy all enemies to clear the stage.
Attack the enemy’s footing or destroy enemies to pick up powerup items such as Invisible Potions or the Minecart, which will allow the player to plow through enemies.
Activate ninjutsu action through collecting scrolls—such as flood and fire ninjutsu. Then, Ninpo Gama Pakkun will trigger fever time. You can swallow stunned enemies with Gama Pakkun.
Unlock Your Collection
If you collect a certain number of Gold Pellets or Souls, you can exchange them for Jalecoins and be able to play more characters. Enjoy the variety of characters with unique moves.
You can also collect Jalecoins to unlock songs or game documents. You can enjoy old BGMs from JaJaMaru classics or enjoy new song and arrangements for this new title. There are also game documents that are only going to be able to be seen in this game.
