A Deep Dive into The Hidden Ones

The Hidden Ones immerses players in a thrilling martial arts world steeped in Eastern philosophy, blending Taoism, Yin and Yang with modern settings. The game emphasizes character understanding, mastery of unique abilities, and exploration of individual philosophies.

Players will unravel a cinematic storyline following the Outcasts, battling increasingly challenging bosses throughout multiple levels. Each boss encounter directly relates to a chapter in the overarching martial arts saga, dynamically evolving alongside the player's progress.

Multiple game modes cater to diverse preferences. A Duel mode offers intense player-versus-player combat, while an Action Roulette mechanic allows for dynamic skill acquisition mid-battle. A challenging Trial mode features a series of escalating boss battles, demanding mastery of various characters and fighting styles.
