Sword Play! Ninja Slice Runner

Slash through the bad blue stickmen with your trusty melee weapon on the road to the finish line in Sword Play! Ninja Slice Runner. The gameplay mechanics are very reminiscent of an all-time classic Fruit Ninja, except for the fact that all the slicing unfolds in a 3D environment.

Played from the first-person perspective, you can only see and control the weapon itself but not the ninja protagonist wielding it. Therefore, the parkour-style movement occurs automatically, and you’re only tasked with splitting the enemy stickmen in half with your swift hand of justice. For extra style points, you can unlock dozens of epic Sword skins and flashy Trails to emphasize the fancy swings even further.

How to play Sword Play! Ninja Slice Runner

The gameplay is fairly intuitive, so you shouldn’t have much trouble jumping straight into it. When you get close to the blue stickmen adversaries, the sword you’re controlling subtly slows down, indicating that you’ve entered the melee range.

Some of the enemies carry guns, and they’ll shoot before you get close enough to deliver a killing blow. Fortunately, the bullets move quite slowly, so you’ll be able to cut them in half midair. Swinging your weapon constantly in any direction is a surprisingly solid strategy.

What are the controls for Sword Play! Ninja Slice Runner?

Sword Play! Ninja Slice Runner is playable on mobile and PC devices alike. However, due to the natural swiping motion, the controls do feel much more intuitive on a touchscreen device.
