An open-world samurai game: swing, climb and fight across a demon-haunted town at night.

  • Swing between floating spirit lanterns, climb any wall and run the rooftops of a feudal town.
  • Chain three-strike sword combos and dash through blows against oni and haunted paper lanterns.
  • Cleanse four demon gates to unlock three spirit powers, and hunt 24 spirit orbs on the highest roofs.
  • Bring down the Bone Giant, a giant skeleton that rises in the castle courtyard.

Ninja Run 3D

A fast ninja runner: three levels that keep speeding up, then a run with no finish line.

  • Race through a bamboo forest, village rooftops and a moonlit shrine, each faster than the last.
  • Jump logs and gaps, slide under poles and slash ink shades to build a combo up to x5.
  • Grab a magnet, a dash or a shield when the path gets crowded.
  • Clear the first level to unlock endless mode and chase your best distance.

Keyboard: arrow keys or WASD, Space to jump, J to slash

Phone: swipe to move, jump and slide, tap to slash

Yes. Both run in phone and tablet browsers and draw their own touch controls: a stick and buttons in Lantern Blade (best in landscape, with the full-screen button), swipes and taps in Ninja Run 3D.

How is my progress saved?

In your browser, on your device. Lantern Blade keeps the demon gates you have cleansed, the spirit orbs you have found and your best time; Ninja Run 3D keeps your stars, best scores and best endless run. Clearing your browser's site data resets them.

Are these anime games?

They are original games made for AnimeQuiz, set in old Japan with demons from Japanese folklore, and they are not based on or affiliated with any anime. Ninja Run 3D adds a bonus anime trivia question between levels: answer it correctly for an extra heart.

What if a game will not start?

Both draw their 3D graphics with WebGL (Lantern Blade needs WebGL 2), which every recent browser supports. Update your browser, try Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, or turn on hardware acceleration in its settings.
