A Deeper Dive into The Hidden Ones
Blending the rich tapestry of Eastern philosophies like Taoism and Yin Yang with modern martial arts, The Hidden Ones delivers a thrilling brawler experience set within the Hitori No Shita universe.
Players will immerse themselves in a cinematic narrative, unraveling the lives of the Outcasts. The game emphasizes character understanding, philosophical depth, and mastering unique abilities. Multiple levels feature increasingly challenging boss battles, each echoing a chapter in the martial arts saga and evolving alongside the player's progression.
