A Deeper Dive into The Hidden Ones

Blending Eastern philosophies like Taoism and Yin Yang with modern martial arts, The Hidden Ones immerses players in a cinematic storyline centered around the Outcasts. Players will master unique character abilities and confront increasingly difficult bosses, each representing a chapter in the overarching martial arts saga. Boss encounters evolve dynamically, adapting to the player's skill progression.

The game features several modes, including a competitive Duel mode with intense player-versus-player combat and an innovative action roulette mechanic that allows players to temporarily acquire opponents' skills. A challenging Trial mode presents a series of escalating boss battles that demand mastery of diverse characters and fighting styles.
