Nin Online is now out on Steam!

Nin Online has been operating out of it's own website exclusively for the last 12 years since the first alpha test. While it's seen its first beta release and launch in 2019, it's ran mostly from people finding it through word of mouth. Steam is the largest game publishing platform by a large margin, and so being on Steam allows us to reach audiences who find new games through the platform.

One thing that will happen is the same that a lot of Free to Play games experience. Games that are one-and-done give players a good 20 hours experience and they leave it feeling pleasant and leave a good review, whereas for online games with endless play time potential like Nin Online, the chances of players getting banned for something and coming back to leave a negative review is high. There's also players who have enjoyed the game for thousands of hours but because of an update they dislike will review bomb the game. If you enjoy and love Nin Online, or have played it and loved it at some point, I hope you will leave a positive review. It helps the game continue going. I've dedicated 12 years of my life to making Nin Online the best I can as a solo developer with the help of community members. Building an MMORPG is hard, and was even harder back in 2013. So it's only going to get better from here!

Ninja MMORPG with hardcore, old-school MMORPG inspirations and Open World PvP.

Free-to-play with zero Pay-to-win mechanics. Inspired by classic MMORPGs and anime from the 2000s.

Choose from 3 Villages or become a Rogue Ninja
Start off as in one of three factions, grow up in the safety of the gates of each village. But once you're strong enough, you can choose to abandon your home and become a hermit... or even go rogue.
Open World PvP & Hardcore Game Design
This may be a turn off for some, but Nin Online is a very hardcore game. So take this as a word of warning... Absolute freedom when it comes to PvP also means a bad time for some with a low tolerance for being killed for no reason. But for others, it's just another reason to get stronger in this harsh Ninjaverse.
Deep Character Customization in the right places
Choose to be part of a clan, join an organization or sign a contract with an animal familiar. Combined with thousands of equip-able items, no two ninja will ever look or be the same. Nin Online is a game where you are encouraged to express yourself. Looking good doesn't cost you to lose fights.
Friendly and active community & developers
The greatest feature of Nin Online is it's tight knit community and social features. The developers are active in our chat channels and have been constantly listening to feedback improving it since it's release. The game is still in active development with updates being made on a weekly and sometimes daily basis.
