Mexican Ninja, the 2.5D roguelite fighting game from developer Madbricks and publisher Amber, is now available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, and it’s making quite the entrance. Set in the gloriously absurd world of Nuevo Tokyo, a city that is exactly what it sounds like, the game plunges players into a bloody fight against the Narkuzas, a ruthless criminal syndicate formed from the merger of Narcos and Yakuza. This is the kind of principle that shouldn’t work, and yet here we are.
Players take on the role of a resistance fighter, sombrero and all, tasked with dismantling the Narkuza clan by eliminating each of its feudal lords, one brutal duel at a time. Combat is built around fast, responsive arcade action that takes clear inspiration from classic beat-’em-ups of the arcade era, although Madbricks has layered in a roguelite structure to keep things fresh. Randomized stages, builds, and Jutsu abilities mean no two runs play out the same, which should give the game some serious staying power for those willing to continue.
One of the most eye-catching elements is the Mexican Jutsu system, a set of iconic abilities that players can unlock by training with El Mero Mero Sensei and earning the favor of Mexican and Japanese spirits. These abilities are described as a way to control crowds while looking, in the developer’s own words, “incredibly cool.” Next to this is the Way of the Donkey skill tree, which promises to turn solid fundamentals into increasingly outrageous power as players level up. Boss battles crown each area, offering clashes against a colorful group of cartel killers that will require both sharp reflexes and a solid grasp of the game’s combat systems.
Mexican Ninja is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, priced at $16.99. The game is also verified by Steam Deck, so portable players are well supported. For those considering the Steam version, a 30% launch discount is available for the first two weeks following release. A launch trailer has also been released online, giving a good look at the combo-based combat and boss encounters in action.
