About The Messenger

• Take on the role of a daring young ninja carrying a scroll that holds his clan’s fate, unlocking new skills and secret paths.
• Fight off foes and towering bosses while mastering fluid acrobatics and precise ninja controls.
• Vibrant pixel art plays a display to classic titles, shifting between meticulously crafted 8-bit and 16-bit visual styles.
• Immerse yourself in a powerful chiptune soundtrack, crafted by Rainbowdragoneyes with authentic Famitracker magic.

The Messenger Reviews

This is just a immensely well-made game that has a rock-solid foundation with the hero’s movements and controls. On top of that, it layers on an onslaught of laudatory elements, whether it’s a winning, humorous tone, the excellent linear level design, or the marvels of the late-game exploration.

NintendoWorldReport

The Messenger establishes itself as an excellent tribute to old-school platformers, then proceeds to rapidly up the ante with a series of outstanding gameplay twists. I’m deeply impressed by The Messenger’s ambition and polish. It’s a must-own for any retro enthusiast.

VG247

The Messenger is a prime example on how to study the fundamental rules of a genre that has been replicated a million times before. To then follow these rules, bend them and eventually break them into something of its own calibre of quality is something quite special indeed.
