About This Game

NinpoRenju blends five-in-a-row tactics, ninja combat, and roguelike deckbuilding. Collect special pieces, combine ninpo and relics, and develop your own fighting style. Link four to trigger ninpo; link five to create an opportunity for ninsatsu. Explore a solo adventure or challenge a friend in online PvP.

Special Pieces, Tactical Possibilities

Bombs, hammers, shuriken, ice crystals… Each piece offers more than a place in your next line. Trigger explosions, disrupt your opponent’s formation, and combine piece effects to turn the board in your favor.

Link Four to Unleash Ninpo

Connect four pieces to activate ninpo. Attacks, armor, healing, traps, and status effects give every formation a tactical purpose. Send Rakshasa Hook across the board to pull a piece into a new position—and open up your next move.

Link Five to Unleash Ninsatsu

Five in a row creates an opportunity to unleash ninsatsu. Watch the old wolf’s Illusion Art summon multiple shadow doubles for a coordinated assault. The battle continues after the attack: read the changed board and plan your next move.

Synthesize Pieces, Build Your Strategy

Collect pieces with different abilities, refine your deck, and discover new combinations through synthesis and upgrades. Build around the interactions between pieces, ninpo, and relics, adapting to the rewards you find throughout each run.

Random Constellations, Different Openings

Watch a randomly selected constellation appear as stars become the opening pieces on the board. Changing patterns, positions, and piece combinations create new tactical situations. Find opportunities in the formation you receive, rather than following the same opening every time.

Build Your Ninja Village

Between adventures, return to your village to repair and upgrade buildings and unlock new progression options. Invest the resources you collect in lasting growth and prepare for your next journey.

Challenge Friends Online

Face a friend in online PvP. Read their formations, block their plans, and combine special pieces, ninpo, and ninsatsu to gain the advantage. Every move is a chance to outthink your opponent.
