What’s the Game Actually About?

The Hidden Ones is an action-packed brawler set within the Hitori No Shita universe, intertwining epic Eastern philosophies like Taoism and Yin Yang with a modern setting and martial arts. As you immerse yourself in this mythical martial arts world, the game encourages you to understand your characters deeply, delve into their philosophies, and master their unique abilities.

The narrative unfolds through a cinematic storyline that explores the lives of the Outcasts. Players will navigate through multiple levels, facing increasingly challenging bosses that are intricately connected to chapters of the martial arts saga, evolving alongside the player's progress.

The game offers various modes to keep gameplay exciting. In Duel mode, you can engage in high-stakes battles against other players. There's also an action roulette feature that allows you to acquire other characters' skills during combat, adding a dynamic layer to fights. For those looking for a true test of skill, the trial mode presents a gauntlet of epic boss battles, each more challenging than the last, requiring mastery of different characters and battle styles to survive.
