More about this fan site
Who it is for
The site is for players who are new to SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance, players returning to the series, and anyone curious about how the game plays. Beginners can start with the getting started guide. More experienced players may find the notes on combat consistency and exploration more useful.
What the site is not
It is not an official game website, a support channel, a store or a download site. It does not represent SEGA, Lizardcube or Google, and it cannot help with accounts, purchases or technical problems. For those, use the publisher's support channels or Google Play.
How the pages fit together
Home introduces the game and the story setup. Combat, Ninja Arts and Levels cover the main gameplay systems. Guides collects practical advice with search and filters. The FAQ answers common questions, and the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Terms and Disclaimer explain how the site works.
Corrections and suggestions
If something on a page looks wrong, or you would like a guide on a particular topic, use the contact page. Game content and features may vary by version, so feedback from players helps keep the text accurate.

Editorial Standards
A fan site is only useful if readers can trust it. These standards describe how every page on this website is researched, written and updated. They apply equally to short card descriptions, long guides and the FAQ.
Confirmed facts only
Game facts are limited to details that appear in official descriptions of SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance from the publisher and its official Google Play page. That includes the game's genre, its hand-drawn style, Joe Musashi and the story premise, the Katana Oborozuki, Kunai, Ninjutsu, Ninpo, combos, Amulets, Ningi tools, and stages with platforming challenges and hidden secrets. When a detail is not confirmed, such as an exact effect, a boss name or a secret location, the site leaves it out rather than guessing.
Advice is labelled as advice
Guides and tips are fan suggestions based on general experience with action platformers. They are written in a way that makes this clear, using phrases such as “try”, “consider” and “in general”. They never promise guaranteed wins, rewards or unlocks, because no guide can honestly do that.
Original writing
All text on this site is written specifically for it. Official descriptions are summarised in our own words rather than copied, and short factual references are attributed to their source, for example “according to the publisher's description”.
Honest images
The site uses original illustrative artwork created for its ninja theme. Every image is described as illustrative in captions or alt text. The site does not present artwork as gameplay footage or screenshots, and it does not use official logos or watermarked material.
No commercial influence
The site does not sell products, accept payments, offer paid placements or publish sponsored guides. No company has reviewed or approved the content. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed clearly on the relevant page and in this section.
Sources, Corrections & Transparency
Where game facts come from
Facts are taken from publicly available official materials, such as the publisher's announcements and the game's official Google Play page. Readers should always check Google Play for current availability, device compatibility and pricing.
How corrections work
If you find an error, send the page name and a short description through the contact page. Confirmed errors are corrected on the page. Because game content and features may vary by version, corrections that mention which version you play are especially helpful.
Who runs the site
The site is run independently by fans of the game. It is not operated by SEGA, Lizardcube or Google, and it has no partnership with them. Contact details for the fan site are listed below and in the footer of every page.

Who This Site Is For
The site is written for players who are curious about SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance, are about to start it, or are already playing and want a calmer way to think about its combat and stages. It assumes no knowledge of earlier SHINOBI games and explains ideas in plain language rather than in genre jargon.
Newcomers to action platformers are a particular focus. Many guides elsewhere assume quick reflexes and years of experience. Here, the emphasis is on learning one habit at a time: reading an enemy before attacking, keeping track of space, taking a moment before a difficult jump and treating mistakes as information rather than failure.
Experienced players are welcome too. The combat, Ninja Arts and exploration pages include practice routines and self-review ideas that are useful at any skill level, especially for players who enjoy refining how cleanly they move through a stage.
What the site will not do
The site will not offer the game, files, cheats or shortcuts, will not ask for personal or account details, and will not pretend to speak for the companies behind the game. It aims to be a friendly, honest place to read about a game its writers enjoy, and nothing more.
How the site is maintained
Pages are reviewed when readers report errors and when official information about the game changes. The effective date on each legal page shows when it was last revised, and corrections to guides are made directly on the relevant page so readers always see the current version.
