The Hidden Ones is an action-packed brawler, with its roots in the Hitori No Shita universe. It has epic Eastern philosophies like Taoism and Yin Yang blended into a modern setting along with martial arts.

When you dive into the mythical martial arts world, the game wants you to understand your characters, dive into their philosophies and master their unique abilities.

So, you dive into a cinematic story unravelling the lives of the Outcasts. There are multiple levels where you’ll face off against increasingly challenging bosses. Each boss ties back to a chapter of the mythical martial arts saga and they evolve as you do.

There are different modes in the game. The Duel mode lets you face off against other players in high-stakes fights. And there’s an action roulette that lets you snag other characters’ skills mid-fight.

Then there’s the trial mode with a gauntlet of epic boss battles where each fight is tougher than the last. To survive, you’ll need to master different characters and battle styles
