Evaluation

Mexican Ninja launched on August 20, 2026 across Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. The developer Madbricks ran an extensive pre-launch campaign spanning multiple demos, playtests, and conventions throughout 2025 and into 2026, ultimately shipping the full game with 35+ levels, 5 regions, 6 unique bosses, unlockable skins, quests, and secrets. There is no DLC listed on the store, no season pass, no roadmap for post-launch content, and no developer statements about future updates or expansions. The game has only been out for 11 days as of today, making it too early to draw conclusions about what, if any, post-launch support the developer intends to provide.

About this game

Smash through the streets of Nuevo-Tokyo in a fast chaotic 2.5D roguelike beat ’em up where every run unlocks new powers, builds and ridiculous Mexican Jutsus.

Our story takes place in Nuevo-Tokyo, an offspring of chaos that was born when Japan and Mexico collided in fire, power and betrayal.

A land where a new feudal regime was forged between Narcos and Yakuzas, forming a new ruling class, The Narkuzas.

They are now the law, and the law SUCKS CULO.

Now, in the outskirts of Nuevo-Tokyo, a group of rebels is plotting against the five heads of the Narkuza clan.

Enter the Mexican Ninja…

Pela el oido, I’m going to tell you a story, eh? One full of adrenaline-pumping combat, where the streets never give you a break, no matter how many fall before you.

  • Explore the stylized streets of Nuevo Tokyo, a city where Narcos and Yakuzas joined forces and mi pueblo was never the same.

  • Precise movement, positioning and perfectly timed attacks decide every fight.

  • It’s a pick-up-and-play brawler that’s deceptively simple, yet deeply rewarding once you start mastering combos and builds.

  • Unlock ninja skills by training with el Mero Mero Sensei.

  • Gain the favor of powerful Mexican-Japanese spirits and unleash their powers throughout your runs.

  • Experiment with different builds, discover devastating combos and carve your own fighting style.

  • Customize your character with hidden outfits and swag worthy of a true cabrón.

Mexican Ninja is a return to the button-mashing arcade classics, but with roguelike chaos and modern depth. 

Fight your way through gangs of Narkuzas, master outrageous Mexican Jutsus and leave a trail of broken enemies behind you.

Because when we fight… we do it CON HUEVOS CABRON.

Customize your fighting style using our Way of the Donkey tree. The Way of the Donkey is our skill tree, except it’s 10x cooler and made for people with peluche en el estuche.

There’s an inner cabrón in all of us. Be THE Mexican Ninja and show the Narkuzas the true way of the blade.

Testimonials

"I couldn’t be prouder of what the whole Amber team has helped us build and bring to life through this video game. In my culture, a HERO was always needed… ****, it still is… Mexican Ninja has always been about that to me - the longing for that idea. Having profound admiration for Japanese culture, its history, and its roots, it naturally seemed like the perfect one to blend and contrast with my own. I hope players can join the fun, explore the world, and embrace all the quirks of this concept. I hope they get their asses kicked and stand up again, and again, and again—and through this dynamic, understand that Mexican Ninja is a vibe, a spirit, a way of being. I wish you a good journey in finding your inner donkey. Stay blazed"
